We had the most gorgeous stay in Stefano's amazing apartment. Although only two bedrooms, there was still ample space for our family of five.
The view out on the balcony of the canal was a special treat.
We felt like locals from the very beginning of our stay and enjoyed that there were supermarkets, bakeries, fruit/veg shops and more, within a very short walking distance.
Although it is about 20 minutes to San Marco, once you work out the route, it is a very easy walk with lots to see and do along the way.
The apartment was so well set up with an amazing kitchen and living/dining areas. Perhaps the only set back with small children is the small TV set. But they soon got over that and enjoyed their stay in Venice.
We selected Stefano's apartment as it was nice and close to the railway station and, we discovered, only 200 metres from the boat to the airport.
Venice is an amazing city and Stefano's place is a great location to enjoy it without feeling confined in the busy, touristy areas around San Marco.
We'll be back and looking forwarded to sharing that wine on the balcony with Stefano.
