We were met by the host's friend Luca, which gave a good introduction to the place and the area (even brought a map and an event brochure to us). The place is very spacious, I would say even more spacious than the pictures indicate. Wifi was excellent, cleanliness excellent, and a very nice view of the canal from the balcony. It is not really close to the most touristic places in Venice (which I find an advantage). Walking to the Rialto bridge was a very nice walk which took about 30-40 min. I would highly recommend this apartment.
