We stayed at Caroline and Jacopo's apartment in Venice at the end of August 2016. Jacopo met us at the bus station in and the apartment was a very short walk from there, past the train station too. For us the apartment was in a great location as it was close to the public transport links (we came into Venice by Bus, and continued our journey by Train), and also very close to the waterbus stops. St Marks Square was a half hour walk from the apartment.

The apartment was very clean, well equipped, and the wifi and air conditioning worked well. It was on the third floor but there was a lift. There was bread, tea and coffee left out for us on the table, and bottled water in the fridge.

Jacopo allowed us to drop our bags early which was a great help, as it meant we could enjoy our first morning in Venice without dragging our bags around with us. On the walk from the bus station he showed us where to get the waterbus from, and gave us tip of places to go while we were in Venice. When we got to the apartment he showed us around, showed us things like how to open the sofa bed, where the wifi password was, etc. The apartment was very quiet at night.
