Everything went perfectly on this trip. Sebastiano recommended a Limo (Car) service from the airport which is much faster and stress free to getting to the apartment by boat. We were met in the arrivals hall and taken to Santa Marta, where Sebastiano was waiting for us to walk us to the flat and show us around it.
What I love about this flat are the french doors onto the balcony overlooking the canal. It has a real art deco feel and yes, the sofa's are a bit tired, but you aren't looking at them. You are taking in the sounds of Venice while you sit on them.
The flat is huge and spacious and bright and airy. I came with my mother who was tired after all the walking in the evenings and we were happy to stay in the flat for dinner.
5 minute walk to Santa Marta where you can pick up the Vaporetta. 15 minute walk into the heart of Venice. We got to the Guggenheim in 20 minutes by foot too. Get Sebastiano to Whatsapp you the GoogleMap location for when you are coming back to the flat as the address doesn't work. We got lost and he replied with help immediately which was a life saver.
Safe, comfortable and quiet and one of the few flats with a lift.
I would definitely stay again!
