This apartment was the highlight of our trip. It is huge and we were a party of eight people. Everyone had a bed, and there were THREE bathrooms, so we never felt crowded. The living room is very spacious with a separate sitting area and then the dining room that opened into a very roomy kitchen. We had three people prepping food in the kitchen with no problem.

The air condition is also very good, which was essential as Venice was sweltering during our visit. There is a very quiet, beautiful courtyard that you walk through to get to the apartment, which features a glass kiln. If the artist is working, he'll show you how he makes glass figurines like horses.

Margherita was extremely helpful and informative, recommending a private water taxi to get to/from the airport. This drops you off right in front of the building, so it's a super easy, luxurious way to travel to Venice.

The location: It's right on the water, a few minutes walk to San Marco Square. The public transport boats are over the bridge or two so very easy to get around the city at any hour. The Murano boat also leaves from there.
