Weave down one of Venice’s many narrow streets and step into this comfortable apartment, situated right in the middle of the action. You really can’t beat this location – it’s just a minute away from Piazza San Marco, and you can access the canal directly from a shared building entrance. And although it’s missing an oven and a washing machine – and one guest will be sleeping on the extra bed in the living room – it’s a small price to pay for everything else it offers. If you’re itching for a sit-down after a big morning of walking, relax with a book or a coffee in the building’s colourful courtyard, shared with the other residents.

It’s packed with monuments – it has spectacular palaces and churches, and consistently beautiful Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The central square is, unsurprisingly, an important tourist hub.
