We can't say enough positive things about this place and the hosts. Excellent location in quiet neighborhood with gelato shop, canal side and piazza restaurants, a pastry shop and small "coop" market where we bought groceries. The walk to the grand canal and the public transportation boats (vaporetto) is 5 minutes and from there you can easily go anywhere in Venice. The train station is a short walk or vaporetto ride away as well. apartment was spacious, comfortable, and private. It was nearly 100 degrees each day and the airconditioning was great (as cold as you like--and as Americans from the northeast we liked it cold). Good wifi that always worked. We easily departed to the airport on the "Ali Laguna" boat that we caught at the vaporetto stop as well. Overall a great place. Would not change a thing. Thanks Rosanna and Laura!
