This was a great apartment in an ideal location. Martino was fabulous and explained all details about the apartment and neighborhood thoroughly. We had a question a few days after our arrival about the hot water, and Martino promptly addressed our concerns (the hot water heater sends hot water to the shower only if another faucet is left on). The location couldn't have been better -- the area has lots of restaurants and stores (including a supermarket... there aren't so many in Venice), and it was conveniently located near the vaporetto stop.
