Carlo met us as promised from the ferry taxi from the airport! He was very welcoming and friendly and took us the short walk to the apartment( 10 minutes approx maybe less) . It is located up a narrow alleyway in a residential area and felt vey safe. Sparsely furnished but comfortable and clean with all we needed for our 3 night stay! Plenty of local restaurants in the area giving you a more authentic feel to Venice than the ones on the main tourists tracks around St Marcs Square and Rialto etc! (20 minutes walk away) We travelled with friends another adult couple and had plenty of privacy with bedrooms over 2 floors. Enjoyed our stay!
