We loved staying in the apartment during our time in Venice. It is in a fabulous location (near shops, restaurants, train station and easily accessed from the airport) but quiet at night and it was good to be away from the crowds at times. We really valued staying in the city itself rather than on outside Venice as it gave us the time to explore and the apartment was a great base for doing this. Being close to the train station meant that we could explore surrounding cities too such as Padua and Ferrara. The facilities are excellent; the bedroom is on a mezzanine floor accessed by steep steps but the bedroom is very cosy and has a lovely peaceful atmosphere. Maria was friendly and helpful and gave us a very warm welcome to Venice.
