This apartment was wonderful! It is located in a more quiet area of Venice, which is great for families or anyone seeking relaxation, but a short Vaporetto (water bus) ride away from the beach and the central part of Venice. It is about a 10min stroll from the apt. to nearest Vaporetto stop. There is a playground, shops, and a few restaurants within walking distance. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and has everything you would need (3 bedrooms, kitchen, living area, and bathroom). Luca was very welcoming (even bringing us extra fans as we were there in the boiling heat of August) and helped us get a lay of the land, pointing out places of interest as well as providing "need to know information" about Venice. Truly a great place to stay while exploring the beauty of this city.
