A beautiful apartment, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Location is fantastic, very close to San Marcuola vaparetto station on the Grand Canal, two minutes from the Ghetto and a stone's throw from shops, restaurants and the supermarket at the historic Teatro Italia. The apartment has a small balcony for a relaxed breakfast overlooking the alleys, which was a nice feature. One thing to point out though is that this is a historic building in Venice, so there are two flights of very steep stairs to get up to the apartment.
Communication with the host was very good. Valentina was very responsive and answered generally within minutes. She also provides a whole lot of information about the area online when you book. Check-in was in person. Valentina was there to help when we got lost in the alleyways, and when she showed us round the apartment, she was also super-helpful with lots of tips and information.
