The apartment was clean and had everything necessary for use as a base from which to explore Venice. The location in Cannaregio suited us really well - it's calm and free of crowds, but only a 10-15 minute walk from the heart of things; alternatively, there's a stop for the water-bus a minute away.
There's a handful of places to eat very close by, including a particularly good restaurant at the end of the street called Laguna Libre, which does delicious food that's a bit different from the standard touristy fare, and at very good prices.
Giacomo and Giulia were efficient and good at communicating, and though we didn't need to contact them during our stay we felt that we could have relied upon them had we needed to.
Visitors who plan to spend time relaxing at home during their stay may want to think twice, as the apartment is pretty compact, but for those just looking for somewhere peaceful to return to after a day of sightseeing, this is a great option.
