The apartment was very clean, spacious, and away from the crowded tourist areas so it was very quiet. It is walkable to all main sights and less than 10 minutes to the train and bus/vaparetto station (Piazalle Roma). Michele was an excellent host - he met us at the train station and waited for us while we bought vaporetto tickets before leading us to the apartment. He had excellent restaurant recommendations and it was great to hear how he has lived in Venice his entire life since all of the guidebooks say the locals are fleeing the city. There were cereal, toast, jams, coffee and a nice refrigerator, washer, hairdryer, towels, soaps and shampoos.
