From the penthouse in 5-10 minutes walking you reach Rialto, Academia, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Piazza Santo Stefano, etc.
In the immediate neighborhood you'll find a souvenir shop, pharmacy, pâtisserie, newspaper stand, coffee shop, good restaurant and bars, little grocery shop, fruit and vegetable shop, and also all the high fashion shops of the best Italian labels, that are located in this area of Venice.

Fabulous place

The apartment is gorgeous convenient and comfortable! The location cannot be beat- down a quiet Calle but near st Marco the host has provided helpful tips for eating well and a well stocked kitchen for staying in. The beds were comfortable, the heat and ac worked well, having 2 bathrooms was perfect! We’d definitely go back!

The apartment location is ideal. It's a short walk from Piazza San Marco. Although there is no elevator, the stairs were easy to manage. The place is very clean, and the pictures are accurate. I would definitely enjoy staying here again.

Fantastic unique loft apartment

We loved our stay in this stunning and spacious apartment. It’s got everything you need and the unique loft design with exposed beams was a great feature. It was close to everything yet secure and quiet. Just around the corner from the entry is a quite spot by the canal where you can watch the gondolas and boats go by. Highly recommend this place.
