This is a great place to stay - close to the touristy centre (Rialto Bridge is 10 minutes walk away) but seems to be on the edge of an area where Venetians live. Handy supermarket nearby and other small food shops selling delicious fare.
Overall the flat is lovely and I'd definitely stay there again. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped and has a nice big table for long breakfasts, there's a very nice sitting room overlooking the pedestrian street below. Very nice double bedroom and bathroom.
I hate to say anything negative but in case it's helpful:for those who are not mountain goats: the flat does have two bedrooms but the one under the roof is slightly awkward to get to and the ceiling is low. On the up-side it's very quiet and dark so fantastic for those wanting a good night's sleep. Also the flat's on the 4th floor so a bit of a climb.
Paolo is a delight - very informative and helpful.
Thanks Paolo - it was a great week-end.
