Wonderful apartment just minutes from the Arsenale vaporetto stop. Marina met us and told us things about the area including restaurant suggestions. San Marco Square is minutes away, but be sure to head in the other direction also; just two short bridges away is Via Garibaldi with many restaurants, and it is a bit calmer than the City. We were able to do some laundry as there is a washer/dryer in the apartment. We were so busy that we never made it upstairs to enjoy the patio, but it was a lovely addition to the space. We highly recommend this clean and comfortable apartment.
