Very stylish and new apartment directly on a canal and extremely well located. 2 minute walk from Vaperetto and no stairs to the property like in so many European walled cities. 15 minute walk or Vaperetto to St. Marks. I really appreciated the relatively quiet location AWAY from St. Marks. Frankly, we were pretty intimidated by navigating Venice but it was easy. Arriving by air required a short an inexpensive bus ride. followed by a vaperetto ride. Arriving by ferry or cruise ship required two vaperetto rides with easy connections. Just the word vaperetto was a bit unsettling...its simply a water bus. Relatively inexpensive to buy a day pass and then just go where you need to.
