The apartment is located perfectly for exploring Venice. It's very close to a Vaporetto stop and only a few minutes walk from a lot of the major attractions. The sleeping platform is very cosy and it is nice to watch the Gondolas going past the windows and listen to the singing. In case of Aqua Alta you need waterproof boots to get out of the flat. Since Aqua Alta in Venice is very predictable you can also just buy some of these plastic bags all of the tourists are wearing when is is about to happen. There is an app you can download to check whether high water is probable. I really enjoyed my stay at the apartment and would book it again without hesitation.
