About this apartment rental

### Lovely and Cozy Formosa Apartment

The Formosa apartment is just a 5-minute walk from S. Marco's Square and the Rialto Bridge. Located steps from Santa Maria Formosa, one of Venice's most characteristic spots, this apartment is in a typical Venetian building. Recently restored, the 50 m² apartment features a large open space with a kitchen and living area (with high wood-beamed ceiling), satellite TV, Internet WiFi, and a double sofa bed. The kitchen includes a fridge, freezer, gas stove, microwave, and dishwasher. The main bedroom has a king-size bed and a large wardrobe. The bathroom has a bathtub and a washing machine. The apartment boasts original and prestigious truss ceilings, parquet floors, air conditioning, a fan, and a cradle available on request. All rooms are very bright with several windows. Nearby, you'll find a supermarket, shops, restaurants, bars, and pubs.

### Shopping

The apartment is just around the corner from a Venetian supermarket, less than a 1-minute walk away, making food shopping easy. For fresh produce, visit the famous Rialto Market (no Sunday), which offers just-caught fish, fresh fruits, and vegetables near the Rialto Bridge. Additionally, there are various small food outlets nearby for meats, cheese, and bread, providing a more interesting shopping experience than the supermarket. You'll also find many top-brand, antique, and gift shops nearby.

Brigitte met us at a piazza around the corner, escorted us the apartment, and showed us what we needed to know about the apartment. This clean apartment is up three flights of stairs but so is the majority of Venice. Plenty of space for two adults. Separate AC mini-split units for the living room/kitchen and bedroom was very nice. It is located at the of a dead end, so you could sleep with the windows open and not worry about a lot of noise outside. A grocery store is just around the corner but if you don't want to cook check out Ristorante ai Barbicani and hit up Gelateria Gallonetto for dessert, all three being less than a two minute walk away.

The apartment was amazing, wonderful location, close to Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square. Rooms were quite roomy for an historic region in Venice. Check in process was excellent with host arranging someone to meet us, take us to the apartment and show us the challenges of operating various equipment in the apartment. Please note, if you have mobility issues, there are many flights of stairs.

Very special apartment with unique old atmosphere from beams. Nice view from windows. Very comfortable! Location is very privilege. There is a nice restaurant close by, not touristy, very good service and excellent food. And situated right on a canal. Ask the lady about this restaurant at a check in time. Go there! If you walk from Rielto bridge, that would be a street before your street on the left. Walk there and almost at the canal bridge the restaurant is on your right. Blinking lights outside are there. Really good place! So, combination of good accommodation, location and the restoran suggestion made my experience in Venice 5 stars.

this apartment is very central to lots of wonderful sights in Venice. It is a little shabby. It's clean but the furniture is minimal and not in good shape. The apartment was a very nice size and the kitchen was adequate for minimal use. The are 50 stairs to get to the apartment. it is not for the faint of heart!!! The host was good about check in. They met us and took us to the apartment. She actually lugged my bag up the stairs for me. That was very nice.

The apartment is lovely and in a perfect central location. Although Venice was hot during our visit, the AC was adequate and kept us comfortable. The building entry and stair is a bit shabby - and remember it is a 3-story climb - but the unit is terrific, quiet and clean.
