The apartment was exactly as described. Guila met us @ the restaurant beside the apartment & showed us everything & was very informative about things to do & transport etc. Please note there are 4 big flights of stairs to walk up so if you have big bags just keep this is mind. We had booked an early morning flight from Marco polo airport so walked to the Piazzle Roma to catch a taxi which takes about 15-20 mins & taxi ride is about the same again. I would book a layer flight leaving next time. Giacomo was great as a host when one of our travelling party left their passport @ the apartment & we had to contact him early morning to get a key to get back in. Things in Venice are within walking distance & lots of restaurants nearby etc.
