This is a truly amazing apartment, tucked down a tiny alley, and located on the second floor of an old house, you feel like a true local. All of the spaces are large and generous, with views over a canal from the living room and one bedroom, into private gardens and courtyards from the other rooms.

Located between the train station and Rialto, once you are familiar with the nearest square, it is easy to find your way back following signposts to these two landmarks. The area is primarily residential, so away from the tourist hoards, but close enough to walk easily to the major attractions or vaporetto stops. There are many shops, restaurants and bars near by, clearly frequented by the locals, so again you feel like a true Venitian.

Erika was incredibly helpful, offering guidance on the many sites and attractions, and making suggestions of great places to eat nearby, we could not have felt more welcomed into this amazing apartment.
