Wonderful! Maria was so sweet and helpful (the map she let us borrow was great). She let us choose a time for the big breakfast each morning and it was yummy. Great way to start the day. I partly chose this apartment because it was close to the train station. This is true... 5 minute walk (had to carry our bags up the steps over the bridge... not a big deal to me). Her apartment is just down the alley enough to avoid any noise from the main street. Super quiet, actually.

Location happiness is quite subjective. This is not super close to St. Marks, but we liked that. It gave us a chance to walk back and forth and see an area that is not as tourist heavy (and, oh boy, is it tourist heavy close to Rialto/St. Marks!). Our stay at Sweet Dreams was at the end of a week in Italy and we were tired already. So, we did use the vaporetto service (7 euro each way) between the apartment and St. Marks a few times. Great way to see the Grand Canal to and fro. We also found a few nice little restaurants in the area.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment. With breakfast it almost has more of the feel of a B&B. Private bathroom. The other unit is in a shared hallway, but that is the only thing shared. I think I saw the word "lobby" in the description, but that likely means the area between the bed and table in the room. Internet and AC were rock solid in the room.
