Walter was a really warm host; he drove us around the neighbourhood showing us where certain amenities and the bus stop were. The apartment is in a peaceful neighbourhood and there are cafes and a supermarket just across the street. Do note that the apartment has no lifts and luggages would need to be carried up 2 flights of stairs. It was otherwise a comfortable and value for money stay if you're trying to save and avoid staying within Venice. Bus stop is about 5 min walk away and ride in to Venice is about 15-20 min.
