The apartment is nicely located on the Venetian island in a relatively central spot which is as well a picturesque area as it is away from the overcrowded tourist paths. Still you will be in 10 min at Piazzale Roma (where your trip to Venice usually starts and end), and in the other direction you will be in 10 min at the Rialto bridge. You can also take the Vaporetto at S. Stae (2 min) and cruise the Canale Grande.
The apartment itself is well-equipped with anything you will need for a short trip to Venice. It is very quiet and the highlight is the little garden where we had breakfast every day (it would also be nice for the evenings if you can manage to come back to the apartment before 12, which we never did).
Actually we thought about to do cooking all the time, but we gave up that idea very quickly considering all the nice restaurants in the vicinity offering authentic Italian cuisine at reasonable prices.
Alberto and his sister, our hosts were very helpful in giving us good advice where to go, what to do. We arrived after a horrible car drive through a mega traffic jam all the way from the Brenner to Verona and missed the meeting time agreed by more than 2 hours. Alberto who had any reason to become angry for waiting that long was absolutely great in welcoming us after we arrived finally, took the time to explain to us everything and even went with us on a walk to a nice Italian restaurant still open and also very recommendable.
To shorten things: we had an extremely good time in Venice which is definitely also owed to Alberto and the apartment. The only thing which was regrettable, was the fact that we booked the apartment only for 3 days and not for longer.
