A warm welcome by the host, Michele, as he met us and led us to the apartment. On the way, he introduced to the neighborhood and "little treasures" in this non-touristy area. It was an easy walk to the train station, as well as to vaporetto stops and the focal points of Venice's highlights. It was a safe and comfortable area with great cafes, restaurants, and shops.
At the apartment, we were provided all the basics for a great stay. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept. Michele's recommendations rang true each time. This was apartment was a great value and we would return!
