Our party of four had an amazing stay at Venice 5th, if you are looking for a place to stay in Venice, stop searching and book this apartment. Sitting on the deck with the view of the domes of St Mark's, the campanille, the horologue and even the lagoon in the distance, listening to the church bells and the calls of the seagulls and the spectacular sunsets and sunrises is worth everything. The apartment is extremely well equipped, clean, comfortable and elegant. It feels like the family home that it is and the decor gives you a sense of who they are. The beds were comfortable, the AC highly welcomed as the mosquitoes were very active shortly after sunset. The location could not be better, literally five minute walk to Rialto or St. Mark's but yet the apartment was so quiet, even outside on the decks.
The only caveat is there are a lot of stairs, the equivalent of seven stories from the street to the very top deck, but there are a lot of stairs just walking around Venice. If you have some sort of mobility issue, Venice in general will be very difficult for you, not just this apartment.
Barbara was also a fantastic host, responsive and careful in her communication as well as the crew she has managing the apartment.
It should be clear by know that I could not recommend this stay more highly other than to say that we are already planning when we are coming back next!
