We absolutely loved staying at Simone’s apartment. It is in a lovely part of Venice with plenty to see, do, buy, and eat! It’s across town from San Marcos Square, which is nice because it’s not as crowded and market prices are better, but it’s also really cozy and pleasant. Sometimes in the evening we were serenaded by a man playing accordion on the street below! The apartment is roomy and comfortable and we appreciated the cool A/C because it was hot outside! We also had the opportunity to wash & dry clothes which was really helpful for our long trip. Simone left us some delicious snacks and some local wine - which we added to our happy hour every day. When you exit the apartment, go left through the square and across the bridge, a little farther down you’ll find an amazing grocery store that was built in a restored theater - it’s beautiful and has a fantastic selection of meats, cheeses, fruit, etc to have for breakfast, lunch, or happy hour. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!! Enjoy!
