Stay here! It has everything we were looking for and more. The apartment is bright, with many large windows. It’s very clean with plenty of room to spread out. It is just as nice as in the pictures and there were no surprises. Check in and check out were a breeze. Communication with host Anna and Sara (who checked us in) was quick and clear and the directions from the train station were great.
The apartment is close to the train station. It’s a 10-minute walk or 15 minutes by vaporetto since the stop is less than 5 minutes from the apartment. Upon arriving in Venice, we got a little lost getting to the place but that was our fault. It’s easy to find once you know where it is. It sits right on the Grand Canal and is amazingly quiet considering a primary boulevard full of bustling shops and restaurants is 150 feet away. The location was perfect for us. There were restaurants (and gelato) at the end of our street and a grocery (with frescoed ceilings) 5 minutes up the street. The vaporetto could take us anywhere that was too far to walk.
Venice was the second stop on our Italian honeymoon. We enjoyed cooking at least one meal a day at home and the kitchen had everything we needed. The outside courtyard was a peaceful oasis, with beautifully manicured grass and colorful flowers. We ate at the private table at water’s edge as much as possible! We also enjoyed the glass enclosed dining area as well, when the weather kept us inside.
The furnishings were beautiful and comfortable. We loved the Venetian glass fixtures, marble shelves and elegant plaster work. The main bathroom was very spacious and well appointed. The bedroom was gorgeous! Laying in bed with my morning coffee I felt like a queen amidst the comfortable luxury. Morning light drifted in the two glass doors that opened onto our colorful garden. I liked the big closets with lots of hangers. Having a washing machine was also a fantastic plus.
It was a wonderful part of our honeymoon! We would happily stay there again!
