I stayed here with my husband and 2 young adult daughters for 3 nights in June. This is a well-located apartment very close to St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. Anytime we got a little lost on our way back to the apartment, we would just follow the large signs printed on many buildings back to "Per San Marco." As other reviewers have noted, the apartment is noisy due to it's central location, so we kept the windows closed at night and waited for things to quiet down around 12 midnight before falling asleep. I would recommend bringing a noise-maker if you think you may have trouble sleeping with the sound of voices and street chatter. The apartment is very clean and in a beautiful old building with a pretty view of a smaller canal from the bedrooms with lots of gondola activity, etc. Just to let others who are searching for accommodations in Venice know, I think it's important to share: In addition to the 3 flights of stairs up to the apartment (rough at the end of a long day), there are also a few steps between each of the bedrooms and bathrooms and the main living areas. I gave Bragozzo 4 stars instead of 5 for a few reasons: The towels are very low quality similar to rough old bar towels; each of the bathrooms only had a tiny, about a 1 inch, bar of soap. There was no hand soap anywhere including the kitchen. We purchased and left hand soap, laundry detergent, and paper towels in the unit - which I thought should have been provided. Plus, there was barely enough toilet paper for our stay; There are no shelves in either of the tiny showers, so all your toiletries used in the shower are on the floor including the soap. Lastly, the beds were firm, which is fine, but the pillows were very hard, large, and tough to sleep on, and need to be swapped for a nice hotel-quality pillow. The cons I list above are simple, inexpensive upgrades that could be easily remedied by management. These little touches could make Bragozzo feel more comfortable and luxurious, and elevate it to a 5 star rating. Despite these issues, I would stay here again due to the excellent central location, as well as the fact that this apartment is very clean and well-maintained. At the end of our stay, although expensive (105 euros), we opted to get to the airport via a water taxi pre-arranged at our request by the manager, Alberta. This was so convenient! It's only about a one minute walk to the San Zulian dock. Pick up was prompt and we were helped with our bags.
