We loved staying at this beautiful apartment when we were in Venice the end of May. It is very close to the main bus/train station so you do not have to drag your luggage around yet is very private and quiet. We especially appreciated the fact that we could catch any of the water buses that circulate around the city from the main stop nearby. Santa Croce is a very authentic, less touristy neighborhood with many terrific places to eat. Although the weather was cold and rainy while we were there anyone would appreciate the lovely outdoor patio area during nice weather. That is a real plus. We would definitely stay here again!
