Rosa was very welcoming right from the beginning, meeting us at the Rialto Mercato water bus station then bringing us to the apartment. She gave us very useful tips on what to eat / do in Venice. The apartment was excellently located very nearby the Rialto Market. We felt this was a more "authentic" place to stay in rather than near St Mark's Square. The apartment itself was very clean and lovely to return home to everyday. The beds were comfortable and we slept very well. The two bathrooms and well-equipped kitchen were also very useful. Highly recommended!!
