The location can be tricky to find but it's Venice so a lot of turns and narrow corridors, if you haven't been you'll understand once you go. The apartment is vary spacious and very clean. It's on the floor level so cool to see the boats and Gondolas go by the window. Once you come out of the tucked away location there is a square with shops, restaurants, Rx and a bank. We arrived from the train station and it was about a 15 minute walk but up a lot of stairs and bridges there are people movers who load up all your luggage on a cart and walk with you which was great. It was $40 but worth it. The air conditioning didn't really work but there were fans in rooms that helped. You are tucked away from the main grand canal so you really get a sense of what it would be like if you lived there which was a great experience versus staying at a hotel. The host was very gracious and gave many recommendations and had someone meet us at the apt to check in. The three doors to get into the apt was tricky at first but once you figure out how to unlock it you're good.
