Our family and friends (8 in total) spent two incredible days in Venice. The loft is set on a canal, Rio di San Guistina, which cuts through one side of Venice to the other. The moment you arrive you sense the vibrancy of the city. Life happens on the water in Venice…it’s a joy to sit on the dock with a glass of wine or cup of coffee and watch life unfold. Every imaginable water craft passes you by from the venerable water taxi (vaporetto), to water ambulances, hearses, police boats, kayaks and construction boats etc. We enjoyed the location as it was not in the center, but was an easy walk to restaurants, St. Marks Square, the Doges’s Palace, the Grand Canal and the Rialto bridge. Enrico, our host, was incredibly helpful in scheduling water taxis for our pickup and departure and responded quickly to any of our questions. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, the unit is comprised of two smaller apartments, each with its own kitchen. The local supermarket, COOP Querini Castello is a short 5-8 minute walk from the apartment. A small piazza with a coffee shop and restaurant is also a few minutes walk from the apartment. We would happily stay here again on any future visit to Venice.
