Great visit to Venice in an apartment that was as advertised. Michele came to meet us at Piazzale Roma, as promised at 1pm and walked with us the short 5-10 minutes to the apartment. During our stay, we realized how lucky we were to have stayed so close to Piazzale Roma. Many people had to walk long distances with their bags or pay for the water taxi to get to their apartment/back to the Plaza. The cleaning lady was finishing up on the apartment when we arrived so Michele went over many wonderful places to visit/eat while we were in Venice...all excellent options. The wifi was not working properly so Michele returned a short while later with a solution! If you plan to visit Venice and not leave the apartment, this place may not be for you. The only common areas are the kitchen and the private courtyard. If you plan on being a tourist in Venice, this place is for you! Don't get me wrong....we were five people - myself, my wife, two teenagers and my father and there was plenty of room (two bathrooms are handy with a teenaged daughter in our group). After visiting St Mark's Square, we quickly realized we had the perfect neighbourhood! Not too many people and lots of restaurants, touristy things, etc. The Santa Croce district is a perfect place to discover Venice. As our ride to the airport was not arriving until after check-out, they gave us the option to leave our bags while we explored Venice one last time. Highly recommend this wonderful place.
