The apartment is exactly as it appears in the pictures, beautiful with lots of character-full details and great views onto the water. The area is quiet (in contrast to the main island of Venice), but still with some restaurants around, and felt safe to walk around in the evenings. The boat journey to the main sights was easy to navigate, with the dock next to the apartment and the ticket machine in the lobby of the Hilton hotel. Ivana was a great host and very understanding when my plans were adjusted at short notice. Overall a great stay and I would recommend!
