ALI, Venice

This central apartment places you within a 6-minute walk of Basilica San Marco and Doge's Palace, and 7 minutes from Piazza San Marco. Rialto Bridge, Ca' d'Oro and La Fenice Theatre are all nearby. Despite its central location, the apartment is on a quiet lane away from the foot traffic of the main tourist routes, making it suitable for a restful stay after sightseeing. The Alilaguna water bus from Venice Marco Polo Airport stops close by, and the host provides a rendezvous and guided walk upon arrival. A Coop supermarket is a 5-minute walk away, ideal for stocking the kitchenette.

The apartment comprises three separate bedrooms (two with double/twin beds and one single), a living room with a flat-screen TV and streaming services, and a bathroom with both a bath and a shower. The kitchenette includes a stovetop, oven, refrigerator, electric kettle, tea and coffee maker, and all cookware and utensils, plus a dining table. The unit is air-conditioned throughout and has ironing facilities, heating, a bidet, hairdryer, and a terrace. Luggage storage is available after check-out. The second-floor location (30-35 steps, no lift) means the apartment is practical for those comfortable with stairs; rooms are described as quiet, clean and well-equipped.

Dining facilities at the property are limited to the self-catering kitchenette. The surrounding area offers many dining and takeaway options within a 5-minute walk, including Gelateria Ruga Giuffa, Al Vecio Canton, Osteria Ruga di Jaffa, Ristorante Antica Sacrestia, and a supermarket for groceries. The host provides personal recommendations for local restaurants at check-in.

Internet access is free throughout the apartment. The property supplies a hair dryer, tea and coffee maker, and streaming services. Safety is via key access, and an invoice is provided.
