This wonderful, uniquely kitch apartment made our 3 day stay in Venice an incredible experience. It added an air of authenticity to our visit that is very hard to find amidst the hoards of tourists and big-box retail shops (H&M, seriously?). From the antique furnishings to the gondoliers shouting to each other under our windows, we felt like we had been transported to the time of the Medicis (which we really liked). The apartment is set back from the main streets so it is quiet but it is still within a 5-minute walk to the nearest supermarket and the Rialto vaporetto stop. It is probably 15 minutes to St. Mark's Square. It was very easy to get to Murano, The Getty Museum and Accademia Bridge from this property. Despite the stifling heat during our visit and the lack of air conditioning, there were plenty of fans to get a good breeze going through all the bedrooms and the entry way. If you are looking for a unique and authentic experience, this is the place for you.
