10/10
This was a beautiful and charming apartment. Location was excellent and well away from the hordes at Piazza San Marco - note it is about a 30 min walk to get there. If you come by train, it is a short walk from Stazione Santa Lucia across the Ponte Scalzi.
We had several meals out on the private terrace. The trellis had a few wisteria blooms left when we went in early June. The terrace overlooked a quiet garden in full bloom.
Kitchen well supplied. Washing machine worked. There is a clothes drying rack supplied as well as laundry soap.
Keep in mind there are no screens on the windows and there are mosquitos in Venice! Mostly we did not need A/C but it was handy the last 2 nights when the weather turned humid and warm at night. A/C machine is a window mount unit - a bit tricky to secure the pipe.
We all enjoyed the Santa Croce neighbourhood - the nearby Campiello del Piovan where the closest grocery - Coop was located - was full of families and community gathering every evening. There was also a tiny fruit stand around the corner and pastry shop as well.
Upon leaving we were able to take the airport water taxi from San Stie dock - although it is a different ticket than the vaporetto!
The payment via bank wire transfer was difficult but worked in the end. Would have been much easier to use a credit card instead.
We were a family of 4 staying in Venice - we would definitely return again!
Thank you for having us.
