Fantastic gem in Venice! The apartment is very close to one of the Vaporetto stops, including no bridges to cross. Helene was a very gracious host and made sure we did not have any problems. Even though we stayed during the heat wave in August, the air conditioning made the living room very comfortable. The apartment was within 5 minutes walking of the Academia bridge over the Grand Canal so it was easy to walk anywhere from the apartment. A very worthwhile place to stay in Venice!
