The apartment was perfect for us. The location just steps from the Giglio vaporetto stop on a narrow, quiet street was extremely convenient, especially as we had heavy luggage. Francesca met us at the dock and helped us to the apartment, giving us a thorough briefing and showing us where to find the supermarket and various other services. We were going to the opera a couple of nights, and the apartment is just a very short distance from La Fenice. It is also close to Pza. San Marco and a pretty easy walk to the Rialto Bridge. Maurizio and Francesca were extremely welcoming, kind, and helpful, indeed perfect hosts, even though we messed up and failed to call upon our arrival to the airport as my Italian SIM card was not working. This was an inconvenience to them, but they were very kind and flexible with the logistics of meeting us anyway. In short, it was an altogether perfect choice for our five-day stay in Venice.
