The apartment is well located, about a 10 minute walk (maybe a little longer with heavy luggage!) from Santa Lucia Train Station and fairly central to many main attractions of Venice. The room overlooks a small square and canal, with a couple of nice restaurants. The kitchen is fairly modern, and somewhat equipped for cooking in, but doesn't have any basic supplies/groceries so you will have to buy them from the supermarket nearby (less than 5 minutes walk away). The apartment in general was quite clean, however there were some issues with the shower not draining properly which caused it to flood. There was a washing machine which was very handy to have and pretty easy to use, and a dishwasher to easily clean up the kitchen at the end of our stay. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with; she explained everything we needed to know about the apartment, Venice in general and gave us some tips as to what we could enjoy in Venice. Altogether a pretty pleasant stay at Ruga Bella!
