Getting to the apartment from Marco Polo was very easy due to the helpful directions that Chiara gave us. Santa Croce proved to be a lovely part of Venice to stay in - away from the major tourist hot spots of San Marco district.

The room (red room in picture) in the shared apartment was spacious and bright with a very comfortable bed and lots of room for storage. Our private bathroom was clean and modern. The kitchen was full of easy-to-use appliances (espresso machine was excellent) and was always well-stocked with snacks and fresh juice/water/fruit.

Chiara was very welcoming and we were provided with everything we needed (maps/recommendations for food etc) for a memorable weekend.

If you get the chance - visit Majer bakery just around the corner from the apartment and Cantina Andalta (excellent wine and antipasti).
