Piero's place was visually stunning, the photos don't really do it justice! I thought the balcony would be over a very small canal but it's actually over quite a big space with great views so that was a lovely surprise. We also loved how it was out of the way of tourists and crowds, you are walking for 5-10 minutes before the streets become busy. The apartment is easy to get to via the water-bus from the train station, and a 30minute walk into central Venice, however there are nice local restaurants 5-10minutes away which I would recommend to avoid the 'tourist traps' and hefty prices. Piero's neighbour Caroline handled the check-in which was easy enough, there was a minor issue when the hot water stopped working after a storm, but Piero and Caroline sorted this out for us extremely quickly which was great! We would definitely stay here again, it was great value for money.
