This by far was our favorite place to stay while traveling through Italy. The host and hostess were immensely kind, sweet people. The apartment had a touch to it that made it feel like home. It was located outside of all the hustle and bustle, with a beautiful view of the water. The area was residential, and not too far from a super market. It lovely and spacious. The bedroom had it's own room, and the living room/ sofa sleeper area had a door to give privacy there as well. The bathroom was a nice size with a large shower. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed to dine-in. We were grateful for the air conditioning after long days of walking. The train station was about 15 minutes walking from the apartment, and about 30 minutes to San Marco Square. There were plenty of shops and eateries within 5 minutes of apartment though. We really appreciated the hospitality of the host and hostess, and would definitely stay here again when visiting Venice.
