We had an excellent experience at this apartment in Venice. First, the location is perfect - we could get to everything because it is right in between the main places of interest: Rialto Bridge and Saint Mark's Square. You can reach both within 5-10 minutes. While Venice can be confusing to get from A to B, we found it easy because we bookmarked the delicious gelato place across the street in our digital maps. So, any time we wanted to get back, we just clicked on the saved location for gelato - and the maps got us back. (As a way of saying thank you for using their location as an easy way to get back, we insisted on eating their gelato with each trip back to the apartment... :) ) The apartment itself is big and clean - 2 full baths and a kitchen. We slept 3 in 3 separate rooms without a problem at all. We were able to do laundry while we were there and the host provided clean towels, soap and coffee. Nice touches! The apartment was quiet for the 2 nights that we were there so no trouble sleeping. Dario was kind enough to give us options to get from the train station to the apartment (private water taxi or the "water bus"). He was waiting for us at the station where the water taxi dropped us off and walked us to the apartment. So helpful! We asked him for some food recommendations and he was kind enough to give us some local ideas. He also told us about the daily fish market for locals and restaurants. They go out each night and catch fresh fish and then sell what they caught at this fish market on the San Paolo side of the Rialto bridge - to the right after you cross the bridge from the other side. It wasn't in any guidebooks - but it was great to see the fresh catch and witness the negotiations between the restaurant owners and the fishermen. We would not have known about it if it wasn't for Dario. So: great location, great host, clean apartment... what more can I say? :)
