I would highly recommend this apartment. It is clean, spacious for a one bedroom apartment, nicely decorated and well appointed (although no washing machine from what I could tell - but that was not an issue). The location is superb being away from the central tourists areas and is in the heart of 'local' Venice. I saw very few tourists in the area. This is my fifth visit to Venice and am planning my sixth. I'll be staying here. There is a very short walk to numerous bars and restaurants (minutes) but yet the apartment is quiet. There is a supermarket less than five minutes away. In terms of vapereto accessibility - S.Alvise is a 5 - 10 minute walk. Fondamente Nove with access to the islands (Murano / Burano etc - trip of which being highly recommended) is about 10 - 15 minutes walk. And if you want to do the tourist stuff - St Marks Square is about 20 - 25 minutes walk. Diana and Roberto were very good hosts, meeting me at the agreed rendezvous point on time. In addition they very quickly replied to email requests regarding certain question which I had. A fantastic stay to which I look forward returning.
