The apartment is extremely close to the San Stae Vaparetto which is very convenient. It is only a few minutes walk to the local square where you can join all the locals enjoying their time - there are some great bars and gelatos and the fabulous La Zucca restaurant is only minutes away (make sure you book ahead). There is a Co-op supermarket in the square where we got all our groceries. The eggs and Brie were especially amazing. It is only two stops to Rialto market or ten minutes walk and you can get wonderful fruit and vegetables there.
The apartment is lovely, modern design, beautifully decorated, the shower is good and the air-conditioning excellent. The kitchen was well-equipped with microwave, hob, fridge and so on plus lots of staple food items like salt and pasta, sugar and even biscuits. We ended up taking a packet of savoury biscuits and leaving some chocolate and crisps there in return for another guest. The cupboards also contain many useful items like sticky tape, scissors and so on so you should find everything you need here. The bathroom cabinet also had some toiletries which although we didn't need was a nice touch. I left a new bar of soap there as well. I was a little worried that it might be noisy outside as we were on a more main thoroughfare near the Vaparetto but it was extremely quiet - I think the huge thick walls and wooden shutters might help, but people in Italy seem much quieter generally than at home.
We were met at the apartment by Giorgio's brother-in-law (I have forgotten his name I'm afraid!) who was lovely and showed us everything we needed and gave us some maps of useful places and answered a few questions we had.
My mother slept in the bedroom which she found to be very comfortable. I slept on the bed sofa which was surprisingly very comfortable and a great design - you just pull the bed out from underneath the sofa part, so you don't have to keep on making and unmaking the bed. The apartment was a good size for us with plenty of space to live, cook and rest in and a great base to explore Venice.
We had a fabulous though very busy time as we were only there for a very short time and have some wonderful memories of our stay. We would certainly stay in the apartment again if we were lucky enough to be able to visit Venice again.
