Prior to our arrival Nina and Francesco communicated well with us and provided excellent detailed directions to the apartment. Francesco's mother met us there and explained all the necessary information. The location was very convenient -- a few minutes walk to Rialto and San Marco. There was a grocery store nearby and plenty of restaurants and shops. The apartment was small but enough for our family of 4. My kids appreciated the sofa bed which became two single beds. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was very clean. The wifi was good. The apartment was quiet which provided a nice break from the crowds. Overall, this was a great value.
