We were given easy directions to reach the apartment and it is half an hour on the metro to Venice. There were a few things which let us down: firstly it was extremely hot in Venice and the host would not let us put the air conditioning on below 22 degrees at night which we felt was too warm. Also the kitchen does not have a fully functioning oven, which is quite dangerous as it has to be lit by hand. Alternatively there is a good local pizzeria nearby!
