Perfect location, perfect comfort, perfect holiday.
Cristina's apartment is in the San Polo area of Venice, near to two vaporetto stops, the Rialto bridge and the Rialto market. This is perfect, because it is away from the main tourist drag between the station and St Mark's Square, but really central to be able to visit anywhere in Venice on foot.
Cristina was extremely helpful prior to the trip, arranging a water taxi to collect us from the airport. When she met us there she showed us many places as we walked to the apartment, and gave us lots of really useful information. She also gave us a map with suggestions for restaurants to try, a lot of which we found and loved! It was great to have personal recommendations to follow.
The flat is exactly as described, clean and modern, good air conditioning in four rooms and comfy beds! The area is quiet in the evening and we had no problem with noise at all from the nearby restaurant. We even took a gondola from the canal we overlooked!
We had a fantastic break and we can't wait to return!
