Wow! What a GREAT place! It made me fall in love with Venice right when I saw the view of the canal.

First, communicate was great with the hosts leading up to our arrival. Michele met us at the train station and led us to the apartment, which was a short, 5 minute walk. Michele was very kind and oriented us to the apartment, showed us the various guidebooks and local recommendations for restaurants all around us. A map was provided with different ways to get around the most crowded touristy spots, which was great - and nice to explore and get lost in all these parts.

The apartment is just as its pictured. The view is better! Loved the big open windows and hearing the boats go by. The AC was nice to have for sleeping. Some misquotes on our last day - but it is to be expected as we were surrounded by water in warm August. I brought bug spray anticipating this - but we just closed the widows and it was no problem.

The bed was comfy, bathroom was stocked with towels and a hairdryer. Kitchen was full equipped with all you need - though we didn't use it much since we ate out, but it was nice to have the option. Snacks were provided, which was so sweet and the washer was a big plus!

The location was perfect for us and it made for a more local feel. We were about 10-15 min walk from St. Mark's square, where all the tourist stuff is located. It was nice to be away from there though since it is SO busy. This area is quiet and made for a great experience. Close to the train station and water taxi too.
