We had a lovely and very comfortable stay in Venice at Salvatore's apartment. The apartment has everything you could possibly need (including a welcoming bottle of prosecco), and Salvatore even set up an extra bed for our children so one wouldn't have to sleep on the sofa. The location is nice and quiet and only a 10-minute walk from the train station (S. Lucia). There are very good restaurants and pastries just downstairs, including a Michelin-star restaurant and the highly recommended Tomaso pasticcheria. Walking to San Marco takes about 25-30 minutes, a trek full of canals, bridges, and other picturesque views of this amazing city. Salvatore is very responsive and made sure to be there to greet us upon arrival, as well as say goodbye. Highly recommended!
