We stayed three nights in Cinzia's apartment. The location was excellent for setting out on day trips around Venice. The location is very close to Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco. In fact the location is central to all you require. If you want a Gondola ride there is a pick up point right outside the apartment.
Cinzia gave directions and when we a arrived late because a flight delay and in the dark she came and collected us when we got off the water bus in Rialto.
Cinzia is truly a Super Host and we highly recommend staying in her apartment.
