This apartment was one of our favorite lodgings on this or any trip we’ve taken. It is ideally situated in a central location, reasonable walking distance to all corners of Venice. It is located in a quiet part of the city, and is so high up that all one gets is fresh air, with great cross ventilation/ cooling from all the windows.
The views are unparalleled—remarkable views in all directions, including a view of St Mark’s campanile from one of the bedroom windows. My wife said that staying here felt like being in a Merchant Ivory film (“A Room with a View”).
The apartment itself is spacious and well appointed. Two nice size bedrooms, a bath, and a living room/ dining room/ kitchen. The outside terrace is a nice touch.
I was worried that this apartment, being an attic, would be quite hot by the end of the day, but it is not at all. As long as you close the shutters on the east side before the sun gets too strong in the morning, and shutter the windows when you leave during the day, it stays surprisingly cool.
The air conditioning is also very effective.
If one has difficulty climbing stairs this may not be the best apartment for you.. it is four levels up, with fairly steep risers.
Communication with the hosts was prompt, friendly, and professional. They were great, and made us feel taken care of.
