The location was excellent, right across from the train station (1 bridge), an easy walk from the bus station / people mover to and from the port (2 smaller bridges, depending on your route one has ramps for roller bags). This alone saves so much hassle in Venice, since you don't want to stay someplace that is difficult to reach, especially with luggage.

Our host gave us excellent directions and we were able to find it very easily. She offered to meet us at the train station, but because we didn't know exactly how long it would take us to get from the airport to the bus station I chose to follow the map. (Take bus #5 between Marco Polo and Venice).

The bathroom was very nice and the room was large and more than sufficient for us. We didn't stay long enough to use the kitchenette, but it was there. The apartment was on the 1st floor (for those of you that are Americans that means 1 floor above ground, not the ground floor).

If we return to Venice this would be the top of our list of places to stay if it is available.
