The apartment is comfortable and well-equipped for cooking, etc. (but we weren't visiting Venice to enjoy my cooking with such fine cuisine of the city). Alessandra was super-easy to communicate with and provided every detail we needed to find and access the apartment. I also appreciated that she gave us a better option for parking our car and entering Venice by train than the one we had planned, and pointed out where we could find an umbrella when rain was predicted. The apartment is laid out with built-in sliding privacy partitions that made it easy to share the accommodations with my adult daughter. There is a nice balcony with seating and a view of the busy street below. There is a bakery a few steps away, a big plus. The cafe immediately below serves coffee but it was just okay. A hundred yards away there were excellent cafes.
