Thank you so so much for our wonderful stay in Venice! Our host's communication was excellent and they organised for someone to meet us at the train station and walk us to our apartment for check in - a must if it's your first time in Venice because it's easy to get lost. The apartment looked exactly as advertised in the pictures and we had everything we needed. WiFi was literally the only thing we missed. The location could not have been more perfect. It is away from the touristy and super busy St Marco Square and the Rialto Bridge, but close enough that you can walk there in about fifteen minutes - and that's at a leisurely stroll. Around you, you have lots of bars and restaurants frequented by locals and with excellent prices. Our favourite for relaxing with a spritz or a bellini was Campo Santa Margherita, a 5 minute walk. Wee bit of noise in the morning from water taxis and commuters in their boats but that's to be expected when right on the canal. It's not too bad at all, and besides it was a great wake up call so we could get out exploring this wonderful city so early. Loved this place!
