The host provided directions to reach the apartment from the Vaporetto and was ready when I arrived.
The room, common hallway and private toilet were meticulously designed, quite spacious and quite comfortable to stay in. Only downside was that sound easily travels from the room upstairs when objects move around the floor.
The location is fantastic, few minutes from San Marcos square and just sufficiently withdrawn from the main streets to be fairly quiet.
The host provided me with great tips on how to find local bars and restaurants - a rare commodity in Venice.
All in all an experience worth a hotel in comfort and convenience, at a fraction of what a conventional hotel will cost you in this location.
