What an amazing experience. Sandra was more than accommodating. We arrived late (10 PM) in Venice and then had to wait for the vaporetto service. In any event Sandra picked us up at Rialto and escorted us to the apartment. To say the least, we were VERY impressed. The place makes you feel at home and a bit like a Venetian as well. Fridge was stocked with OJ, milk for coffee or cereal, butter. Also stocked was cereal, bread, jam. A supermarket is 2 min away so if you want eggs or anything else to eat you have this option as well.
Location of the apartment is excellent. Just a few min and you are at Rialto bridge. But it is secluded enough that you don't get the burdensome noise/traffic.
Sandra (again) was an excellent host. She spoke English well. Is meticulous about maintaining her apartment which is a GOOD thing. She also went way out of her way to explain for 20+ min the areas of Venice, places to consider to visit, and good spots to eat.
Ok, the big two questions:
1. Would I stay here again if in Venice? YES!
2. Would you recommend this apartment to a friend? YES!
So if you are going to Venice do trouble yourself scouring the TripAdvisor and Airbnb too much. You know now where to stay!
