The apartment is a wonderful escape from the hectic tourist areas of Venice, beautifully appointed and sparkling clean! Open the doors onto the private canal terrace for an espresso or glass of wine! Pietro was a fantastic host, readily available with answers to questions and make recommendations for restaurants, directions and travel tips. An easy water taxi ride from the rail station and close to a great market for provisions. Ten minutes to meander thru squares and streets to the Rialto bridge and not too much farther to P. San Marco.
