Corinne arranged for her friend Allessandro to meet us at the vaporetto. He was friendly and walked us to the apartment. It was located very close to St Marks square as noted in the description. There is one foot bridge between the vaporetto and the apt. The apartment was very quiet for being so close to this busy area. Very spacious compared to the hotel we stayed in our last trip to Venice. Allessandro gave us a tour of the apartment, including how to use the coffee maker. If you are interested in being close to St. Marks, this is the perfect location. The apt was clean and comfortable. The A/C unit is in the living room only. The washing machine was tricky because the knob only had hash lines and no labels, so we didn't know how to use it. We had some difficulty with the shower as it would get very hot and then go cold, but we couldn't get a constant comfortable temperature.
