We were given very good directions to the flat and were met at the door by our host. Francesco gave us a thorough practical introduction to the flat and came up with useful information about Venice.
We were very pleased with the flat. It's within a stone's throw of a supermarket, bakeries, bars and restaurants, yet is along a quiet fondamente. Early morning pedestrian and boat traffic didn't wake us, because the the living room was between the bedroom and the double glazed exterior. I slept like a log, so I'd say that the bed was also spacious and comfortable. Since we were close to the excellent Rialto fish and vegetable markets, I made extensive use of the cooking facilities in the flat. There's a gas hob and oven and just enough room for food preparation. I was pleased that there was a good selection of pans and cutting boards. - there's a well stocked Coop supermarket 'round the corner. The large 'fridge was very handy. We were well supplied with towels, bedding, storage space and a good selection of books and a large screen TV. First thing in the morning it's great to draw the left hand curtain and gaze down the Rio Priuli in front.
It's Venice, so it's easy to walk everywhere and if you need them, vaporetti stop nearby on the Grand Canal (at Ca D'Oro and San Marcuola) or the Fondamente Nove on the Murano side of the Lagoon (I recommend taking a boat north to Mazzorbo, Burano and Torcello). The nearest ACTV ticket machine is at the Ca D'Oro stop.
Don't forget to take a peek in the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta when walking to or from Fondamente Nove!
Getting into the flat through two doors is simple, though as an independently minded couple, we might have appreciated an extra set of keys. While we ate at many excellent restaurants, if you want to eat locally I recommend the Al Fontego dei Pescatori which is literally opposite the flat, althought you do have to cross a bridge and walk along the Calle Priuli on the other side. (You'd better book too).
As you would hope, Francesco and Nina responded quickly when we noticed a problem with the heating system.
