Location is excellent, all the places of interest in the old town are in walking distance. There is a pleasant balcony with a view on the Venetian harbour. Kitchen not fully equipped but we managed quite well with what there is. John sent us useful tips on eateries as well as a map and always seemed accessible and willing to help. The only issue to bear in mind is that the stairs to the apartment are challenging - we always travel as lightly as possible but it was not easy to move our luggage upstairs and downstairs or to manage the stairs after a day out on the streets. Nevertheless, it was wonderful to be able to make regular "pit stops" in the apartment in between visits to the surrounding areas. Highly recommended.
