The apartment is in between the grand canal and the lagoon. It was easy to get to the stations for both the Venice and the outer islands. The main street is only a block away. The train station and the St. Mark's square are both 30 minutes away by walking or water taxi.
The apartment is clean and has a great view of the canals surrounding it. It was spacious; our family of 4 only used 2 of the 3 bedrooms.
We met both Francesco and Maria. They answered all our questions. Francesco met us at the Ca dOro station and guide us to the apartment for check-in. Maria checked-out us and let us pet her dog, which is a highlight for my kids.
The apartment is at the 3rd floor without elevator. It's not an issue for us, but something to keep in mind.
