The apartment was really close to San Stae vaporetto stop in a quiet area within 20-30 minutes walk to Piazza San Marco. No bridges to go over with heavy luggage and the apartment is on the ground floor. You can also get the airport water bus from San Stae stop which was really handy. The local piazza was close by with several good restaurants, a supermarket and great gelato shop. It was perfect for our family of 2 adults & 3 children. The air con was a life saver in the August heat! The only downside was we had to wait over an hour and a half to be met with our keys at San Stae stop. Communications wasn't great and we could have done without the long wait in the sun with 3 kids. Silvio was very apologetic when he did arrive as he was delayed by another check in.
