We got this apartment for the view and location. Both did not disappoint. You are a 3 minute walk to St. Mark's Square but the location makes you feel like you are citizen of the town. You can watch the gondolas go by which my wife and I felt was a really cool experience. You are literally at eye level with the gondolas.

Michele was great at communicating the details of where to meet and stayed in contact through the whole trip. Even though he was out of town he stayed in contact with us when there was an issue with the washing machine (it ended up working fine).

The apartment is a great stay for those who want to feel as if they are a part of the city and don't want to stay at a hotel. You are close to major water taxi transit and is easily accessible from the port and train stations. We didn't have to carry our suitcases crazy around the coty to find it. It was a bit noisy at night and early mornings due to some talking outside (I think they were stocking wine at the place across the way at 6am) and also the boats sometimes passing in the early morning. Also I would recommend you bring enough shampoo, conditioner, and a bar of soap because this will not be provided...but can easily be bought at the store.

Overall, I thought it was a really cool stay for a couple of nights to feel like you are part of the city. Though it could have been cleaned a little better I really enjoyed my stay there and would advise those who want to be close to the action but feel far away from it to stay here.
