Erika was lovely to meet us at the Alilaguna stop to bring us to the apartment. We arrived early and she was nice enough to allow us to drop off our bags and check in as soon as cleaning was done. She offered some great tips for eating and sightseeing. The apartment is very spacious and clean. The balcony overlooks a great, quiet canal. The location is quite ideal for a stay in Venice. Walking distance to all of the sights, quieter at night, and close enough to the train station when leaving. This was a fantastic experience.
