The location is perfect...a five minute walk to both the train station as well as the vapporetto stop (which made it easy to get anywhere), but also a quiet place away from the throngs of tourists. It was easy to check in with Guilia, Massimo's friend, and then they kindly stored our luggage when we checked out several days later (but were not getting a train until later). The apartment has everything that a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) would need and the beds were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this apartment to everyone looking to stay in Venice!
