We had a fantastic stay at this residence and would reccommend it to anyone looking to have a wonderful Venician vacation. The location itself is absolutely beautiful. You can tell that a lot of effort has been put in to maintain the home and match furniture and art collection to the style. The private garden facing the cannel and the living room makes for a wonderful space to meet other guests and unwind after a day through the city. The breakfast spread is very nice with cut fruit, yogurt, cereals and some of the best fresh baked crescents i have ever had. Location wise it is perfect. It is about a 10 minute walk fromthe train station crossing 1 large bridge and 2 smaller bridges. If coming from the bus depot (if coming in from the airport) it is just the 2 smaller bridges. The area itself has some nice restaurants and cafes and is less crowded/touristy than the St Marco/Rielto area. Venice itself is very walkable with a 10-20 minute walk between most places you would like to visit. Walking around after dark is also very safe (we were traveling as 2 females).
I would definitely reccomend Nicholas's home and would love to come back!
