The Vaporetto

This cosy apartment is just moments from St. Mark's Square and overlooks the maze-like beauty of Venice from its private balcony on the third floor. You'll need to climb stairs to reach it and the decor is on the simple side, but it's ideal if you want to be close to the action without being in the centre of everything. The kitchen is small here – good for cooking light meals, but fear not. You'll find a wealth of Venice's fantastic restaurants right on your doorstep, along with shops and the famous canals.

Home truths:
*You can't drive in Venice, but this home is close to water taxi stops for getting around. *There is no lift in the building, so you will need to climb stairs during your stay. *Due to this home's location, there is a chance you might hear some outside noise during your stay. *There is a kitchenette here rather than a full kitchen – we think it's best for preparing lighter bites. *If you're staying here for over a week, a weekly bed linen and towel change is included. *Your host will meet you at the water taxi stop close to the apartment, take you to the home and check you in upon your arrival.
