Our host was wonderful, he gave us perfect information about parking and making our way into the city, which was invaluable given the unique nature of Venice!
We were met by and shown to the apartment by the host's sister, she was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She gave us information about the neighborhood, the gondolas (a stop just in front of the building) and general tips about navigating Venice. Very nice, very helpful.
The location could not be better, a two minute walk to the Piazza San Marco, a few more to the high-end shopping area, restaurants and shopping everywhere.
We were a group of four and the accommodations were perfect. Highly recommended.
