Contact:
Directly after booking we were contacted and sent detailled information on how to get to the apartment, including a map that was sent via email. Meeting the owner in person was very nice. She showed and explained everything important about the apartment and is a very warm-hearted and endearing person.

Apartment:
We felt very much at home in the apartment. The living room/kitchen/bedroom is much more roomy than it looks on the photos. I enjoyed waking up every day and looking at the high ceiling with beams. This room is also well lighted, there are five windows all in all. You can open all of them, two of them going out directly to the main canal of Murano and overlooking the outside tables of a little restaurant, the other two going out into a small courtyard, another one an overhead-window in the roof with stained glass. The windows to the canal can be darkened or obscured by shutters and white curtains. Wifi with good connection, TV with Italian and some English programmes. The fridge already had a few different beverages and a pack of tasty dried tomatoes in it. Nice touch! There were all the kitchen utensils we needed for cooking spaghetti, making a salad, baking rolls for breakfast etc. and for doing the washing-up. Nice bathroom with wall mosaic in warm, golden-brown colours. Everything clean, lots of towels in all sizes. More towels and additional pillow in the closet on the right side of the bed. Large empty closet for clothes on the left.

Surroundings:
The small island of Murano is good for taking walks, there are several restaurants, and the apartment is only a short walk from four different vaporetto stops. There are two supermarkets, one of them a German SPAR - with friendly Italian employees and Venezian prices of course. :)
A ride to the biggest island with the St. Marcus square takes about 15 minutes. From there you can take a vaporetto around that big island, which takes quite long, or just walk across, which only takes about 20-30 minutes and leads through many picturesque alleys.
Murano is also close to the fishing village Burano with beautiful vividly coloured houses, and the island Torcello.

All in all a great basis for exploring Venice and to come home to in the evening.
