Of all the apartments we stayed at in Italy, this was the best. Our host Sandra was the best host ever - she met us at the "bus" stop in Rialto, and walked us to her apartment. She had prepared a map for us, that showed us exactly what we needed - places to see, restaurants to eat, streets to walk. She also made reservations for us at a fantastic restaurant in Venice, and was easily reachable and communicated very well with us. We loved staying at Sandra's place, and we highly recommend it to anyone coming to Venice.
