The apartment is in a quiet area but still has plenty of restaurants available locally and only 10 - 15 minute walk to the centre. The train station is around 40 mins away on the waterbus. Lucia's local tips were very valuable and he is very enthusiastic about Venice.
Due to a problem with the maid, the apartment hadn't been cleaned from the previous guests, however we came to an agreement over cost reduction which we were happy with.
The apartment is nicely decorated however there were a few issues (shower running hot and cold intermittently, kettle not working properly, some missing crockery etc) that we have made Lucia aware of. All relatively minor and should be easily resolved.
