This was the best apartment I’ve stayed in Italy. First, it’s in a quiet neighbourhood away from the tourist crowds, but as the main island of Venice is very walkable from one end to the other, it was still very easy to get to the main attractions. You can get to the major sites by 10 mins walk, and the ferry/water taxi dock is only 5 mins walk, which made catching the ferry to the airport super easy. Several excellent, non-touristy restaurants are all around, only a couple streets away. The apartment itself is pretty spacious and nicely decorated. The unit is clean and the host runs it almost like a hotel. Very sophisticated check-in; the host meets you at the dock and walks you to the apartment. Leading up to your arrival, you’re provided with ample instructions and tips. They have a website as well. The host was very kind and spent a lot of time, both over text and during check-in in person, answering our questions, making sure we had everything, and showing us interesting spots on the map. Highly recommend this lovely apartment in Venice!
