The apartment was extremely clean and comfortable with nice furnishings. We especially appreciated the air conditioning for our late June visit. We were with our 17 and 19 year old daughters, so the layout with the two bedrooms separated plus two bathrooms was great. Despite being just off a quiet square, it was less than minutes walk from Piazza San Marco. Mathilde met us at the boat and led us to the apartment, pointing out landmarks that helped to orient us. We also tried two of her restaurant recommendations which both proved to be good meals. I'd definitely recommend this for those wanting to stay close to the action.
