We were met by Orial, Marcella's representative, at the vaporetto stop - which was a quick 10 minutes from the Venice train station. He took us on a pleasant walk to the apartment, which is in a lovely residential part of Venice - but easily accessible (i.e. walkable) to all of the sites. After giving us a tour of the place, Orial provided practical recommendations on food and grocery locations.

The apartment is better than how it is pictured! Very clean, very modern and in a beautiful old building. We loved it. The space is well conceived - and almost feels like a ship given how well utilized and spacious everything feels. Our 13 year old son was inspired to cook a pasta bolognese in the very well stocked kitchen.

The only very small complaint was that the wifi worked best in one of the bedrooms, part of the kitchen and the main living room. Elsewhere, no signal could be found.

I would happily stay in this apartment again and would recommend it to anyone.
