Apartment is on the first floor of the building off a little side street near the hospital. It is about a 40 minute walk from the Piazzale Roma bus stop or place you get the keys. There is a Vaparetto stop nearby but costs $7.50 per person including children. A little removed from main tourist places so not quite as crazy with people. Only 15 minute walk to both Piazza San Marco or Rialto. Great for discovering city. Bedroom is huge. Kitchen/dinning room is much more cramped if you are staying with four people. Once the bed is pulled out you can barely get by the table. Layout of bathroom is not great so difficult to pass between sink and shower however it has been recently renovated. Shower was good and there is a small washer. Apartment had all the pots/dishes you would need. You do have to bring your garbage to the boat which is about a 7 minute walk away. There was a bakery on the main street and a Coop grocery store both in a 5 minute walk away. Apartment had good wifi. It has cable TV too but almost no English stations. By chance we figured out that if you pushed audio there were a few stations that you could get in English. TV is also in a very odd position so difficult to watch

We stayed for 4 nights with 2 children. Had to collect keys from a different location. This was slightly inconvenient due to heat of late July. However location was residential and quiet. The apartment had a large spacious airy bedroom ,air conditioning very good. Bathroom small but adequate. Washing machine in bathroom but we didn't need to use it. Sofa bed when down in living left little space to move around. Apart from that we had a very pleasant time .
