Isacco was running a bit late so we met his wife who met us at the Rialto bridge, showed us how to get to the place and recommended some restaurants, gave us tips, etc. Venice is a big maze (not in a bad way) and it was easy to find the apartment again using Elisabetta's instructions.
The location: Amazingly close to Piazza San Marco. Very near to Rialto bridge, but most of Venice is easily walkable. The central location of this apartment made it that much more convenient. Very quiet street. Did hear some noise from up stairs but didn't bother us.
The apartment is very-well laid out and had a lot of thoughtful touches, for example sensor-heating to turn off/on the heater, keyless entry. Three bedrooms and Isacco set up all 3 rooms for 4 people. It was nice for us to be in different rooms. The apartment is much more spacious and comfortable than it appears in photos.
The hosts: Isacco and Elisabetta were informative and quick to respond with questions and met us in person--a nice touch that we see less and less these days. Elisabetta suggested we avoid eating in San Marco--advise we took and really benefited from! We ate in the surround areas outside of San Marco.
Overall, a great stay and our favourite in our Northern Italy trip.
