We had no trouble meeting our host even though it was at a very busy water bus stop. She was right on time and we made contact by phone to relay our description. The apartments location was in a prime position not more than a two minute walk from the Rialto Bridge and a five to ten minute stroll to San Marco. Our host provided a map both in email and printed showing us where supermarkets, banks, and attractions are. This made it very easy to find our way back after exploring the city. It is quite a climb up the narrow stairs to the apartment, with it being on the 4th floor, but this is standard for European city apartments. Make sure not to leave a window open as we did the first night as Venice does have mosquitoes. 10/10 would stay here again if we are going to Venice. It's a great location and even better deal.
