Location, location, location! The flat is perfectly situated, close to what you want but on a quieter street. It's also easy to navigate to, which is important in Venice! Nicolas was great; he met me at the boat stop and provided recommendations for places to visit. The layout of the flat isn't ideal for hanging out in, but is comfortable, has everything you need, and is full of charm. It was also nice to have the balcony and A/C inside.
