We had a great two-night stay in Stefano and Mikela's apartment! it is very centrally located (close to the Rialto Bridge and San Marco) but on a quiet side street away from the craziness. It's very close to the Ca' D'Oro vaporetto stop on the Canale Grande and also Fondamente Nove dock for trips out to Murano and Burano. There's a great little bakery just around the corner where we purchased freshly baked goods for breakfast each morning. The apartment is bright and spacious and tastefully decorated. The neighborhood is quiet except for the sounds of living amongst local residents which is what it's all about for us.

Stefano was very responsive to our questions, provided great directions to the apartment (a MUST in Venice), and provided a decent map as well. The apartment comes with coffee and tea which we gladly took advantage of. Wifi is strong as well. Definitely a great value considering the central location!
