The location of Emili,s apartment is great, it is far enough away from the main attractions that the service and prices at the local bars and restaurants are good. But is is only a short walk or vaporeto ride see everything. The air conditioning worked fantastically as it was high 30c everyday we were there so it was great to come home to.
Emili checked us in and gave up great tips on where to eat and places to visit which made our trip Venice easy. If you can arrange with Emili a walking tour, as she is a local tour guide and can show you many of the sights, do this early on your stay and it will help you know the city better.
Emili have us great advice on how to find the apartment with maps and google map details but we still managed to get lost it was hard work with the bridges. My suggestion would be to buy your vaporetto ticket when you arrive get on the number 1 ferry to Ca Rezzonico and you only have 1 small bridge to cross to find the apartment. This was much easier than crossing all the other bridges with suitcases.
