This is a spacious, sparkling clean, conveniently located space with terrific amenities-- A/C, washing machine, fully equipped with all the essentials (hair dryer, coffeemaker/coffee, right next door to a co-op supermarket...). Our host met us at the Vaporetto to walk us to the apartment and provided us with an annotated map of the city with recommended walking routes, non-tourist-trap restaurants, best gelato recommendations etc-- and it really helped us make the most of our short stay in the city. We could not have asked for a better place to rest, cool off and recharge after spending a day in Venice's crowded streets!
