We had a lovely 3 night stay in Venice. Catharine’s place was exactly as described and was ideal for our family (2 adults and 2 kids). Very comfortable apartment with all the necessary amenities and the location was ideal. There were loads of interesting restaurants, bars, shops, etc. catering more to a local Venetian clientel rather than us tourists. And the apartment was walking distance to just about everything including the train station (when we arrived) and the airport water taxi shuttle (when we departed). Overall a fantastic stay!
