Arianna's place is exactly as pictured. The apartment is in a quiet area, yet very close to great restaurants, shops and the train station. Everything is walkable, it took us only about 20 mins or so to get to San Marco's square. The apartment is secure, spacious and well appointed, with a lift to get your luggage up from the lobby. The bed is very comfortable, the washer and hair dryer worked perfectly, and there were plenty of extra towels and linens. We had the pleasure of meeting Arianna and her daughter, they are lovely and very welcoming. We would highly recommend staying at Arianna's place when you are spending time in Venice.
