We booked this apartment because of its close location to everything in Venice and we were not disappointed. Everything is very near and you're not too far from the train station and Vaporetto stop.
You can walk to the location (15 mins) or take a Vaporetto from the train station and be there in 3 stops if I remember correctly, then it's a 5 mins walk. My family and I were met by a very nice co-host during our stay and he even helped up get our oversized baggage up the 5 flight of stairs.
Apartment is in the very top floor and there is no lift/elevator. Just something to keep in mind if you're in a wheelchair or have mobility issues and or difficulty with stairs. Not an issue for my family and I but I think it needs to be said.
The view from the roof top patio is amazing and my kids loved to hang out in the upper area. The kitchen appliances work properly and there was plenty of utensils for us to use. We did a little cooking or reheating of food during our stay. The fridge works and keeps your drinks cold. A large coffee pot would be a nice addition in my opinion.
AC units worked in the rooms, hot water was available in the showers.
Wi-Fi signal was weak during our stay, which made it hard for us to upload photos/videos of our amazing time in Venice but it could have been just during our stay.
If you're looking to be in the middle of Venice and explore it's streets and waterways, this place is located right in the thick of it! There's 2 places to eat literally outside and plenty more just a few minutes away.
The building is quiet and safe. A key is required to enter the building, the hallway lights get turned off
(I'm sure due to electricity consumption) which can make the hall way a little dark to navigate but there is a switch to turn them on when you come in or use the light on your cellphone.
Thank you again for allowing my family and I to stay in your place!
