Very nice accommodations. Right in the heart of Venice. The water bus from the airport takes you right up to his apartment building. There is a lot of steps to go up to the apartment so pack light. There is tv but you need to understand Italian. We are now staying in our 3rd location on this trip, and steps have become a norm. So prepare by getting those legs in shape. We have had the greatest time exploring walled cities, etc., and after all the ups and downs (steps), you cannot eat enough to gain weight.
