the apartment has a very nice location direct on lagoona. you can go for a walk or jogging there and if there is no fog you can see Venice (we saw even the Alps). the apartment is not new but it is very clean and you have everything there. and it is big. For us the location was perfeckt and it was very quiet (we were there in october). But if you want to get to the Venice you have to get a bus (therer is a bus stop about 4 minuts walk) or you can walk to the vaporetto station (it takes about 30 minutes I think). But it depends what you are looking for.
The communication with Giovanna was very good and her sister very very friendly. (she came to welcome us).
We get from Giovanna a lot of fruits and a lot of food (milk, water, orange juice, butter, bread and more more). It was very nice.
