Beautiful apartment in Santa Croce, with a lift. Apartment is on the 3rd floor. The host, Federica, is very responsive, Chiara met us at check-in and was lovely and welcoming. The apartment is very large with 2 terraces and was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked, just be aware there is no microwave. There is a washer (though we did not use) Nice bedding and towels, Master bed mattress is very, very firm. We stayed during a severe heat wave (98F ), so important to note that only the two bedroom areas (on opposite sides of the living room) have air conditioning units so we were not able to use the living room area as it was much too hot. The terraces were nice at night. The neighborhood is right on a canal and is very quiet. The train station area, and one of the main "vaporertti"/public water bus docks, is a short 4 minute walk with 2 bridges (one small, one very large). Rialto Bridge area is about .7 miles. There is a nice grocery store just a couple doors over as well as a few restaurants.
