We just returned from a 2 week trip to Italy, and had the chance to stay at this apartment in Venice. We were so pleased with the location - extremely happy that we chose to stay in a quieter section of Venice, with much more of a neighborhood feel vs. tourist-central. Venice is such a wonderfully unique place! The apartment is steps away from the waterfront, with lovely views and a nice walking path scattered with outdoor restaurants and a nearby grocery. But so much less hectic than places on the Grand Canal! After exploring (and getting lost) for much of the day, it was a relief to come back to this apartment and the peace and quiet it afforded. The hosts were very responsive. They helped book a private water taxi from the airport, which was great fun. The water taxi stop was right around the corner from the apartment, as well as a public water shuttle to all stops on Venice, including the train station. Overall, a good fit for our family of 4!
