The apartment was exactly as advertised. Perfect for us -a family of four with two kids. It was far away enough from the busy touristy San Marco and yet close enough to Lido beach. If you want a quiet stay in a neighborhood but still close enough to explore Venice-this is a great place to stay. It was clean, you can cook with its small kitchen and even do your own laundry with the provided washing machine-the air conditioning works perfect too which is a plus under the hot summer weather. The host communicated well with us before our stay and met us to check in. Close to a local Co Op grocery store,bus stop to and from S.M.E which is the stop for the ferry from Venice-Lido beach and local pizzerias,bakeries and pharmacy.It was peaceful and we enjoyed our stay.
