Everything the other reviews rave about is true. The apartment is large and very comfortable, very nicely equipped and even has a washing machine..a big plus since we had packed light. There is a good cheese store right next door with salamis and other cured meats as well as other items. And two doors down is a full supermarket and a wine shop across the street. Several nights we stocked up on wine, cheese and bread and had our own Italian picnic in the apartment. The neighborhood is loaded with restaurants and shops. It’s very close to the boat landing at Fondamenta Nove so if you fly in to Venice Airport you can take a water bus to the landing and then a short walk to the apartment. We had a wonderful time and staying at Antonella’s apartment made it even better. A great value.
