The apartment was comfortable and very clean. Cinzia our host was lovely and met us on arrival. If you haven't visited Venice before, make sure you have a detailed street map. THIS IS A MUSTGPS does not work as we discovered on our first day. We wasted half a day walking around in circles and we only were in Venice for 1 and half days. There is a Gondola service just outside the flat and is only a 5 minute walk to San Marco square
