A very nice apartment. Caterina and her husband were very helpful throughout. Outside the main tourist area but all the better for that. Venice isn't big and it's no more than ten minutes walk before you hit the first touristy bits. No air conditioning. Not a big issue in October, although it might have kept a few troublesome mosquitos at bay, but if I was going in summer I think I'd prefer somewhere with it. Overall though, a very good place to stay.
