We have just returned from a wonderful stay in Venice for the first time. The apartment was excellent. With the instructions from Thomas easy to find and in a perfect position for exploring but away from the crowds. We walked the first day with everything within twenty minutes and the second day bought a 20 Euro pass for the waterbuses which was excellent value. Went to Burano which was lovely. Having several Vaporetto stops just outside made it very easy and also getting back to Piazzale Roma. We walked to the apartment from the bus station which was a great introduction to Venice.
