We were greeted by a lovely lady who showed us the way in and around the apartment, including the very useful Venetian Guidebook! She offered a restuarant or two we might enjoy as well.
The apartment is as luxurious and spaious as the pictures suggest, and had all the amenities we needed. Easy to warm up.
The neighbourhood is busy and felt safe. It was close to supermarkets, chicheti bars and a great pastericchia as well as lovely artisan shops. Easy walk to the vaporetto too.
