Serena, who was very friendly, fast, and informative in all communications, had suggested our way from Marco Polo Airport to the apartment. Since she herself was not available, a friend picked us up at the boat station, led us to the apartment (even carrying my mother's trolley), explained it, and provided useful information. The very clean apartment is located right in the heart of Venice, just two or three minutes from San Marco and less than ten from Rialto bridge. Since this is a popular path, there was some noise at night, but although we mind noise a lot and are sleeping with a window open, we did not see this as a problem. The apartment itself was very clean, well-equipped (including a capable internet), and very spacy. Two bedrooms and two separate bathrooms (both with shower and toilet) were ideal for my mother, my wife, and myself. In the immediate neighbourhood there is a lot to see and there is also easy access to the vaporettos. A grocery store is nearby (open until 10 p.m. and also open on Sundays) and so are other shops and restaurants. Serenas suggestion #1 on a list of recommendable restaurants was great. Unfortunately, we could only spend four nights in Venice. We are very likely to return and Serena's apartment will definitely be an important option for us: Highly recommended!
