Emmanuel met us at a navetto platform next to the Rialto bridge and walked with us to the flat, welcoming us to Venice and providing good dining recommendations along the way. The flat boasts a perfect location about halfway between Rialto and San Marco square and has everything you could need. Everything worked well. The only thing to be aware of is the steep, narrow staircase, which could pose problems for visitors with large bags or who want to return frequently throughout the day to the flat. In our case, navigating the stairs a couple times a day was no problem at all. The location really is amazing and I highly recommend it.
