The apartment was clean and tidy, and in a beautiful location. There were a few shops close by too. The water taxi experience was very unorganized with few people willing to help us. We were fined 120 Euro for not validating our ticket upon entry to the taxi. If you can pull your luggage, I would recommend walking to the apartment. It is a nice walk. A GPS or some sort of navigation application is a must for getting around here. Only pay the posted price for the posted length of time for the Gondola ride no matter how much longer you are promised for only a small price more after you board. Stefano was a very nice host. All positive and I would absolutely stay there again.
