We had a fabulous time at Roberto's apartment and would highly reccomend staying here. It is a great location for exploring Venice- very near the Rialto bridge and a Vaparetto stop (Ca Doro). You can walk to the apartment from the main station but we would recommend getting the Vaparetto- great views and much quicker. The communication with Roberto was great he answered all of our questions quickly and was an overall great host. Emily who met us to give us the keys gave us some fantastic tips on places to go and things to see (make sure you go to the department store viewing platform and go for dinner on the Fondamenta Dei Ormesini - much less touristy and you can sit on the canal for dinner). There are quite a lot of stairs to the apartment but wow is it worth it you get an amazing view at the top. There were some nice touches in the apartment- tea, coffee, and some toiletries which I think people left behind so we had extra sunscreen, shampoo etc. Overall I would highly reccomend Roberto's place we had a fabulous time in Venice and this was a great place to explore from. Would definitely stay here again
