The week in Venice was wonderful. The apartment is in a perfect location. The balcony is small but has enough room for two chairs. Sitting on the balcony in the morning with a cup of coffee overlooking the lagoon, or in the evening with a glass of wine watching the sunset over Venice is just magical.
The apartment is only 1 kilometer from the boats to Venice -- in the mornings there is a bus from the stop just across the street, or it is a pleasant walk along the lagoon. There is a grocery store just down the street, and the entrance to the beach is only 500 meters away.
The apartment is spacious -- three bedrooms and two baths are perfect for 5 people. The kitchen is well-equipped. We cooked a lot of good meals there.
The apartment is on the third floor without a lift, so it is not suitable for people who have trouble climbing stairs.
To sum up -- it is an excellent place for a family vacation.
