This apartment was quite lovely, located in a quiet part of Venice, but easily accessible to everything from the nearby Vaporetto stop. It was clean and neat and the AC was quiet good considering that we were there during the heat wave. Comfortable couches and a nice table. Also a terrace which we would have really enjoyed but it was us too hot. The “adult” bedroom had a very comfortable mattress, but the two singles in the “kids” room were pretty hard on an adult body. Also the water temperature fluctuated a lot for showers. Overall though, it was a very good place to stay in Venice.

Our family of four stayed here. The Castello neighborhood was the perfect location for us as it is slightly quieter than other areas. It is a 10 minute walk from the quiet and beautiful park and green space near Monumento a Giuseppi Girabaldi. Via Giuseppe Garibaldi has a grocery store, a wonderful bakery, and some shops. It’s still only a 15 minute walk to the bustle of St Mark’s Square. As we entered, our 11 and 13 year olds asked why we didn’t live in such a cool house all the time. It has a fascinating transparent staircase made of robust glass. The kitchen was equipped for making breakfast and more. The third floor loft room and pull out couch provided a privacy option so our two kids did not need to room together. The roof deck gave a view of surrounding hodge podge of roofs that was beautiful. The hosts were available to help us check in and even to recommend a good pharmacy for our sick kid. Stay here!
