Venice in the summer is a fantastic place to be. Having experienced this and wandered around the city each day you want to come back to an apartment that has 2 key features - air conditioning and a decent shower - this apartment has both (2 showers in fact!) and the air conditioning is throughout and not just the bedrooms so this was fantastic. The apartment is also very well placed whether you want to get to the train/bus stations (<10 mins walk) or hop on a waterbus from a choice of 2 stops San Toma, or Ca Rezzonico which is the stop used by the Alilaguna boat that you get from Marco Polo airport (Orange line, takes about 1 Hr and you get a free trip down the Grand Canal on the way!). The apartment is also very well placed for loads of local restaurants - we found that a google search of places rating 4.0 and above more or less ensures that you will have a great meal. We didn't actually cook in the apartment but there are plenty of utensils to hand should you want to do this and again there are 2 supermarkets within a 5 min walk from the apartment. Check in was straightforward and communication with Luz and Laura always received a fast response. We had a very comfortable stay and would recommend the apartment to anyone - hopefully we'll return here soon :)
