Sandra's place was very clean, comfortable, and ideally located. It is very close to the Rialto bridge, market, and also to St. Mark's square. But, as you walk away from both to her apartment, the crowds begin to thin out. And by the time you get to her place (10 or 15 minutes) from St. Mark's, it is relatively quiet. There are very beautiful, less crowded streets to wander around in right where the apartment is and also in neighborhoods north and east of it. The apartment itself has everything you need, including a kitchen well-equipped enough to cook, if you want. Sandra herself was friendly and informative about Venice. She met us on time at the boat, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. I have no complaints and highly recommend the apartment.
