Ilaria and her sister Olimpia have been great hosts. They both received us very very warmly. And came to pick us up at the Rialto water bus stop and walked us to the apartment. The apartment is about 10 minutes walk over cobbled streets from the Rialto water bus - cost 7.50 euros per person each way from S. Lucia Station , Private water taxi cost 80 euros per way ( not per person but for the entire taxi )it may be better to use the water taxi if you have lots of luggage or use porter services if you choose the water bus.
The apartment has been newly renovated .It is 5 minutes walk to San Marco square and super market and restaurants just below the apartment . The building has an elevator and the apartment has a beautiful terrace overlooking the dome and the bell tower. The apartment is furnished beautifully and full of light and air . We had booked an apartment with a garden originally but since the renovation was still in process, Ilaria was kind enough to let us have this beautiful apartment at no extra cost. The apartment was fully equipped with refrigerator, TV, dishwasher , washing machine, great WiFi, iron, hair dryer, clothes dryer Etc and very clean towels , linen etc, it had all the touches of a lady owner and an owner with classy taste. Ilaria and Olimpia were available to answer all our questions at anytime. The location is excellent , it's very very clean and the apartment can easily accommodate 4 adults. Ilaria is a fabulous host.
