What a quaint, personal little apartment. We felt very much at home, and it was beautifully decorated. You could really feel the Venetian vibe. The beds were comfortable enough, for a bed that is not your own. The kitchen was well stocked with all your cooking utensil needs, plenty of cutlery and dishes. The bathroom (while TINY), did it’s job.
The apartment is up on the 4th floor, which you can get to by a small elevator. Cute cute cute little thing. A two person elevator at most, so you will have to go in turns if you have more than two people in your group.
The location is a bit far from major tourist attractions (10min to Rialto. 18 min to marcs square.) but it’s a very nice walk there, with only about 2-3 small bridges in between. Really, if I (71yrs) could make it, it won’t be a problem for young people.
The only complaint I have, is that it was really, really cold. And it usually took 2 or more hours for the apartment to heat up. But once it heated up, it was great.
Coming to the apartment from train: if you have a good amount of luggage, pay the money for a porter to carry your luggage to the apartment. It’s a bit of a trek.
Coming to the apartment/leaving apartment by plane: the best stop to get off at is San Stae, which doesn’t require going over the Rialto bridge with all your luggage. As well, a couple corners before reaching San Stae, you can find a small tobacco store that sells Alilaguna tickets.
Oh! And about a block from the apartment, is a Conad store. A rather large grocery store that has nice cheese, wine, breads, and all your basic grocery needs.
We would certainly stay here again, if we found ourselves in Venice.
