Wow! What a great stay in a lovely apartment. The apartment is very conveniently located in the middle of all the main sites within Venice. We didn't have anything formally planned for our quick stay and found that simply just walking around and stumbling across quaint corners of Venice to be our favorite part. Nicola's place was prefect from start to finish. Mitsuko (Nicola's friend) met us at the waterbus stop and walked us to the apartment. I can't stress enough how helpful this was for a first time visit to Venice. I would have been in a much cracker mood if we had to navigate the twisting streets and bridges in the rain on our own! Finally, we were celebrating our one year wedding anniversary (this is our honeymoon) and Mitusoko even had a bag of chocolates waiting for us to celebrate. Super cute and well appreciated touch. 🙂🙂
If you are worried about this apartment being on the first floor, don't be. The apartment is within a secured courtyard. Only one window reaches the courtyard area and the other windows open up directly to the canal (with no access other than directly in the water). So we always felt safe. The view from the bedroom is super charming!! So take another look at the photos if you didn't catch it.
