The host met us at the water taxi stop and walked us the short distance to the apartment. He proceeded to show us the apartment and take care of our check-in. He was very helpful and the process was very easy. The apartment was just as described and was a wonderful place to stay. I would definitely stay there again. We loved the comfort of the apartment and the beds were very nice. It is also very spacious. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. You are only a short distance to the Grand Canal. We were able to take the trechetto's across the Grand Canal and be over at San Marco Square in a short time.
