The apartment is in a great location - away from the crowds, yet easy walking distance to the main sights and also well connected by vaporetto. Quick journey from the bus station via line 6 (20 mins). There's a supermarket and fruit/veg shop on the street as well as several nice restaurants, cafes and bars which seemed to attract a mix of locals and tourists (and were very handy on a rainy evening!). Apartment was clean, comfortable and very quiet at night. We did not meet Cristiano, just his mother on check-in, but he was easy to contact and quick to respond.
