Nico's place is awesome - right next to a canal where the gondolas go past. Easy access to the water bus for getting to the other islands like Burano etc and getting to/from the train station you won't need it for anything else as you can easily walk around. The apartment itself is a lot bigger than pictured and has everything you would need. Nico is a great host follow his directions as my google maps didn't also work and he's spot on. Check in/out was very easy done through a local hotel less than 5mins walk from the apartment and on the way from the vaparetto stop. I'm a bigger person and the shower was a lik tight getting in but once you're in there's enough space. We had a wonderful time at Nicos and highly recommend!
