Emili is a fantastic host. The apartment was spotless. The location was awesome being on Santa Margherita square where there are more locals than tourists. Would recommend taking the Alilaguana from the airport and stopping at Ca’ Rezzonico and that way you only have one bridge to cross with your suitcases. It is about a 10 minute walk.
In the square The Orange Bar is great for people watching. We ate almost all our meals at Dallo Zio as they have the best food in Venice. There is a supermarket close to the apartment. The only negative is there are 59 steps to the apartment. The plus side is that you will be in shape when you leave. This apartment would be my choice if I come to Venice again. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.
