This is a a wonderful, large apartment located in a residential part of Venice. It is only a short walk (~15 minutes) from San Marco square but located in a neighborhood thankfully free of the large hoards of tourists in the central area. Nearby are several stores (bakeries, fruit stands, wine shops) and restaurants. There were no safety concerns (although the nearby streets are quite deserted at night). The apartment is modern, clean and well-furnished (including a washing machine). The wifi worked well. Communication with the host was without problems. Indeed, Mario met us at the vaporetto station and walked us to the apartment. This is a great choice for a stay in Venice.
