We had a quick stay in Venice before our flight, and this apartment was PERFECT! I can't say enough nice things about the host, Marina - she helped us look up train and bus schedules, gave us restaurant recommendations, and even woke up at 4am to say goodbye to us. The apartment itself looked better in person than it did in the pictures - it is huge and spotlessly clean. The bed was a pull-out sofa bed but still comfortable. The location was perfect, right next to a waterbus stop and a short walk to many restaurants and shops, but still in a quiet residential neighborhood. Highly, highly recommend!
