The apartment was perfect. Everything was new, clean and functioning well. Rita went out of her way to come get me at the train station and helped carry my suitcase all the way back to the apartment. The neighborhood was lovely -- a little bit off the beaten track -- so we did not have to deal with all the St. Mark's Square and Rialto chaos. It is conveniently near the San Toma' vaporetto stop. I highly recommend this apartment for anyone going to Venice.
