Arriving in Venice at the train station for the first time at peak hour (yes there are commuters) is not for the faint hearted but Silvia's great directions soon had us at the right vapretto stop and showing us around the apartment & letting us know where to get supplies from nearby deli, the best gelato for the two teenagers & wifi (which was slow). The apt is compact, modern & clean. Location is superb with a bar & pattiserie around the corner for the morning caffe macchiato; osteria for cichetti & great food across the canal in Academia neighborhood. Between two vapretto stops provided easy access to all of Venice though just as easy to walk to Peggy Guggenheim, Saint Mark's Sq, Rialto Bridge, etc. Would stay again.
