This little apartment is a peaceful, idyllic hideaway in the middle of the city. It's perfect for one or two people, or perhaps two people and a child. Our host made it very easy to find the place and gave us all the information we needed to have a great time. It had everything we needed. We loved the little garden patio, and the fact that you just go out your door and your very close to everything you might want to see in Venice. As advertised, it's just about a half block away from the Rialto Bridge, but on a quiet back street. Most big cities are very noisy, but not in this apartment. We slept very well at night. The apartment is also very close to a couple of grocery stores. There were a few mosquitoes, but the hosts have kindly provided in-room plug-in mosquito repellant, as well as topical mosquito repellent. We loved this place and wish we could have stayed longer!
