This apartment is beautiful. It is located in the northern part of Venice. It was a bit of a challenge getting our 2 young children to the San Marco area (despite being only just over a mile walk, be prepared to get lost and the vaporetto can get crowded, be a bit slow, and a bit boring for 5 year olds as they can end up just looking at bottoms for the entire journey!). But the neighborhoods surrounding the apartment were a delight to walk through - you get the Venice feel, but much more local, and relaxed. I highly recommend staying in this area. The host and her associate were extremely responsive, and the apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. We had absolutely no mosquito problems in doors - every room already had a Vape plug in, so you don’t need to worry about getting those. We made good use of the terrace, and the kids had lots of fun waving at the boats passing by. Perfect place for our family of 4. The only thing to be aware of is that the apartment does not actually have a washing machine in it. You have to use their laundry service, which was 7euro to wash and dry a load. And the WiFi was slow, think early days of dial up slow. So we relied on our cell phone data. Not an issue for our short stay, but something to be aware of. All in all, highly recommended. Would definitely stay here again.
