The host graciously welcomed me at the restaurant she manages on the ground floor where the apartment is located. The unit is wonderful, very clean, brand new feeling and nicely appointed. The location is very convenient within Murano - next to grand canal, a sweet supermarket, ATM, restaurants, and vaporetto stop that is an easy hop to the airport. You can even by wine from a cask in your recycled water bottle next door. Views of the Alps out one window and the grand canal out the other.
