Finding the apartment was a pleasant adventure in Venice. It was close enough to the Arsenale water bus station but far enough from the crowd and the noise. Our neighbors were a souvenir shop, a mini mart, a Pattiseria, a cafe and other cute little shops.
The apartment was an authentic Venetian house built in the 1500's according to "Gaia" our reception host, who was very patient and kept her cool under hectic time of arrivals. The courtyard of the apartment was quaint and the apartment itself was spacious. The bathroom is clean as well as the bedrooms, but the couch could use a little more vacuuming. The house is very old and authentic but the cobwebs need not reveal the age of the house. But I'm sure some spots were just missed.
Overall it was a pleasant Venetian living experience.
