What a great experience! The two story apartment is in a great location. It is located next to the Santo Stefano square. We arrived via private water taxi from the airport and used the adjacent hotel's (Palazzetto Pisani) private dock. I don't think they minded. We ended up going to the same hotel for breakfast one day and a drink in their beautiful bar one evening. The apartment is only a one minute walk - across the Academia bridge to the Academia vaparetto station. We bought a 3 day pass (for our five night stay) and took the vaparetto everywhere (including to the islands of Murano and Burano). The views at the apartment are unbelievable. We really enjoyed every minute of our stay there. There are approximately 40 steps up to the space so if you have difficulty with stairs, you will want to consider your options carefully. Otherwise, the apartment is perfect. The air conditioner works well. The kitchen is fully equipped. It is tastefully decorated. The location is fabulous. Venice can get so crowded and feel touristy so it was so nice to be able to relax at the apartment and still feel like we were enjoying Venice with the incredible view. One night it poured rain for an hour and we just sat in the apartment with a glass of wine, some cheese and prosciutto and enjoyed the views. I was in heaven! Don't hesitate to book this place. It does not disappoint.
