The apartment is very bright , light and airy, in a perfect location very close to all the attractions but more of a residential neighborhood. One gets a bit the feeling of actually living in Venice , with locals . It is not noisy , but there is a cafe downstairs so there is some life around in the evening , but it is quiet at night . We were met at the boat stop by Xenia who showed us the way , gave us an early check in so we could already drop the luggage and go on our tour of the city. She also gave us some nice hints on what to see and where to eat , great hostess ! Thank you Xenia and we hope to be back sometime !
