Fernando was very communicative - he met us at the water taxi drop off point and walked us in to the apt. Such a nice man! And he spoke English! This 2 bedroom apartment is in the perfect location for those that are visiting Venice. It is literally right next door to Doge's Castle, so you are literally a hop, skip, and a jump away from St. Mark's Square. We didn't need to walk very far to do anything we'd planned: food and wine tour, Doge's Castle tour, St. Mark's Basilica tour, and a tour of the torture chamber at Doge's Castle. (Gruesome but cool to learn about!) Just know that you will be climbing steep stairs to the top floor! Cool view out the windows, too!
