This is a lovely apartment, and Achillina made sure we felt at home: she left treats for us, including bottled water and Aperol spritz as well as some great information about Venice, the Biennale, and arts activities throughout the city. There are good reading lamps in the bedroom and great lighting in the living room area, which we always appreciate. As well, there are two luggage racks in the bedroom which are perfect to put your carry-on during your stay. The apartment is situated in a busy, well- touristed area, but we never had a sense of it once we were inside. Be prepared to hear gondoliers singing at certain times of day as they cruise through the canal and get your cameras ready! Nothing is very far from this spot: San Marco is about five minutes, and quieter areas for restaurants are a mere ten minutes or so away.
