We didn't meet Anna, but she messaged us every day to check we didn't need anything and she left us a bottle of bubbly as she knew it was our anniversary. We did meet Tomas, who obviously wasn't convinced that we knew where we were going, so kindly came to meet us from the boat (Ft Nove - Alilaguna 2nd stop from airport), which as it was dark and Venice is quite dimly lit was quite reassuring. A 5 minute walk or so later we were there and Tomas gave us some recommendations for restaurants nearby and made sure that we knew (roughly!) where we were in relation to the rest of the town, including where to find the shops.
The apartment is on the 1st floor on the corner of a nearly 500 year old building. It's obviously been renovated relatively recently as it is spotless and the appliances seem brand new. The main living area looks out over one of the smaller canals. The living area has a small kitchen area with hob, oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave. There are plenty of cookware, cutlery and crockery to go round. There's a dining table between the Kitchen area and the living area on the other side where there is a sofa-bed. There's also a TV. My only tiny complaint really is that if you're planning to watching TV it's at a bit of an odd angle, but you're probably not planning to watch the TV. There is a double bedroom along the hall with window shutters which is great if, like me, you really like to sleep in the dark. Further down the hall there's a fully tiled bathroom with shower. Tomas assured us that Venice isn't bad with crime, but it was reassuring that the apartment door looked like it could keep out the hulk.
The apartment's real strength is the location. It's far enough away from the main thoroughfares that the area is relatively quiet (or at least it is in March) but it is really close to everything. Fte Nove is 5 minutes away and is one of the main stops for the Alilaguna and ACTV water buses. Rialto Bridge is 5 minutes the other way and St Mark's Square is about 15 minutes, depending on throngs of people walking at a snail's pace. :-) If you're coming via bus or train then it's about 25 minutes away, but if you're coming to Venice you should be doing it by water!
We'd happily recommend this apartment and if we ever come back to Venice we'd certainly stay here again.
