I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone travelling to Venice. The area is beautiful, peaceful and relaxing; it has a calmness which greatly contrasts with the crowds in other areas of the city. That said it is only a short walk to central Venice. It is also well located for water taxis to the islands, not to mention the Biennale!
We visited with our 2 year old daughter and this area and the apartment were particularly suitable for her which made the trip all the more relaxing.
Communication was excellent as were directions for reaching the apartment.
