Really amazing place. You could not ask for a more wonderful location in Venice and I stayed a whole month! First of all it is very easy to get to from Airport. Orsola met us at Arsenale stop which is direct from the Linea Blue. There are no stairs and a quick walk. The apt has alot of steps but it is worth every single one and you stay in shape. The apt. is huge and clean and beautiful. It would be perfect for a family or 2 couples. It has everything like a home. The roof altana is fantastic and probably one of the highest in Venice. The views to the steeples and the Grand and the rooftops are thrilling. Also it is very large. The campo is my favorite part. It is one of the most wonderful in Venice. Small enough to seem very local but large enough for some action and cafe's. All the locals gather and play in the evenings. There is fresh bakery, local wine, and many restaurants out the door. My fav was Al Vecio Portal for great food and local feel. The market is down the canal very close. The water stops are steps away as is the crazyness of St. Marks. You have access to the islands from the local Arsenale stop. This was the best vacation ever and a big part of it was staying in a beautiful ancient palace with an updated apartment and a great Hostess. Grazie Mille!
