This apartment was nicely located in the heart of Venice for our week stay. It is very close to the Rialto bridge allowing a visitor easy access to both sides of the Grand Canal which is ideal for visiting all of Venice's sites. We where met promptly by the young lady who the owner had arranged to show us to the apartment. The location of the apartment from the Rialto vaporetta stop was very walkable with a reasonable amount of luggage. There are a couple of flights of steps up to the apartment, but such is stated in the description and were reasonable doable even for us in the over 60 group. If I was loaded down with luggage however, I may have second thoughts of staying at the apartment. The apartment itself was fine and is exactly as shown in the photos. Its top floor location allows for lots of natural light from the Apartments numerous windows. The Apartment contained the basics as far as what you need to prepare light meals and snacks. It did have a washer and dryer, European style to complete light clothing care. It was sparsely decorated and furnished, but again contained what you will need for your stay. Guests from the US may struggle to use the appliances as there are no written instructions on how to use most of the appliances. The Owner, however has good communication skills and was very reachable when needed and receptive to handling issues.
