David and I really enjoyed the stay at the apartment. It's a very cozy apartment and is extremely functional. The apartment overlooks the canal and garden from a historical landmark (now a hotel, I think.) The location is very good - it's very close to the major transportation terminal and is a about 2 min walk to some really nice restaurants in the area. The apartment is about a 15-20 min walk to San Marco Square and the Realto bridge. However, after you have been to Venice for a couple of days, you'll realize that all the good stuff are around the apartment... more authentic restaurants, better shops, etc.

Michele came pick us up at the bus drop off and took us back to the apartment so that we didn't have to worry about getting lost. Michele also provided some excellent tips and restaurant recommendations for the island.

I really enjoyed the experience. Thank you Michele.
