The flat is every bit as good as it looks in the photos. It is just a few steps from Piazza San Marco - the best place to be in Venice. The windows overlook the Merceria, one of the oldest and most famous streets in Venice, which is very lively during the day but silent after c. 10.30pm, so your sleep will not be disturbed. Helena is, deservedly, listed as a 'Super Host', and responds immediately to any query. The steps to the flat are narrow and steep, but there aren't too many of them since the flat is on the second floor. Altogether, this is a very well appointed and well run flat, and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in it for a full three months.
