This apartment is very nice. It is in a good location, on a quiet small canal well away from the crowds, not dry far from the Rialto, 15-20 minutes on foot from the train station, 10 minutes from the Orto boat dock. We had some problems finding the place due to an error in the address information provided by Airbnb (I contacted Airbnb about this and was assured this has been corrected) but the host greeter was very helpful in guiding us in via text messaging. The apartments in the building have recently been renovated and the appliances and fixtures are up-to-date. The decor is sparse—almost stark—but comfortable. The apartment was very clean and the kitchen well supplied. The mattress is notably firm. The host agency, Views on Venice, provides a wonderful orientation book with abundant useful information on local stores and restaurants, opening times and ticket information, and even how to make coffee in the moka device.
