We were met by Agita who gave us a comprehensive run down of things to do in Venice. All communications with Agita and Rita were clear and super informative. The apartment is off an alleyway that might be a bit intimidating but the actual apartment is newly renovated, clean and bright. It is over a restaurant but as you will discover, almost everything in Venice is over a restaurant or shop. Despite this, the apartment is quiet once you close the windows and shutters. The Air Conditioning is a bit loud but better than no A/C in an Italian summer. The location is minutes from the water bus, St. Mark's Square and more shopping and restaurants than you could ever possibly want. I highly recommend.
