Our hosts were wonderfully responsive both before and during our stay. A host met us at the nearby Campo Santa Marina water taxi stop and walked us to the apartment (and helped with our bags!). The apartment is in a lovely location, off the beaten tourist path but just a few minutes’ walk from Rialto or Piazza San Marco. The apartment itself was comfortable and well-appointed and worked very well for our rather large group (5 adults, 1 teenager, and one eight-year-old). The canal immediately outside was busy with activity from dawn to dusk, always providing something entertaining to watch.
