a great apartment located a short walk away from the hustle and bustle of the main touristy spots of venice -- and perhaps most importantly for me, easy connectivity to the airport and train station with the Fondamente Nove station a quick (and easy-to-navigate) couple of steps away. also a short walk away is a Coop for your supermarket needs.
everything in the apartment worked well -- the stove and washing machine were great. internet 10 down 1 up, seemed quite reliable when i was using it for work.
odile is a great host (has clearly been in the business a while and knows what she's doing) -- she will send you a lot of documentation. don't glaze over it -- it's quite important, especially on how to find the apartment and which door to use.
