MAISON DEL CALICE-IHOMES, Venice

This apartment sits in the central Rialto-to-San Marco corridor, placing the most visited landmarks-Rialto Bridge, Piazza San Marco (500 m), Doge's Palace (5-minute walk), and Ca' d'Oro (8-minute walk)-within easy walking distance. The immediate area is vibrant with restaurants such as Da Mamo and Devil's Forest Pub 0.5 km away, and cafes like Cafe Florian 0.5 km away. Venice Marco Polo Airport is 18 km from the property, reachable by water taxi or vaporetto via Piazzale Roma (a 15-minute walk from the apartment). The apartment is located on a narrow alley, so using the host's video instructions or precise coordinates is recommended for first-time visitors.

The apartment is on the third floor (no lift, 5 flights of stairs), and includes one bedroom, one private bathroom, and a living room with sofas that serve as two additional pull-out beds, making a total of three beds. The unit is air-conditioned and has heating, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, and a well-equipped kitchenette. The decor is modern and clean, with a towel warmer in the bathroom. While the living-to-sleeping layout creates an 'at home feel', the apartment is best suited for travellers comfortable with stairs and compact Venetian spaces. The kitchenette is open to the living area.
