I can’t say enough good things about our experience. The check in was very easy. We just texted the host when we were on board the watertaxi and she met us at the stop right as the boat arrived. The apartment is just a short 2-3 minute walk from the stop on the grand canal. It’s tucked in a side alley and is very quiet. I was expecting to hear more noises throughout the night but it was absolutely silent. The location is a short walk to San Marco square and anywhere else in Venice for that matter.
Tip. We sampled as many gelato places we could find and our favorite was just a quick walk from the apartment. Il Doge. Don’t miss it.
Caterina was very helpful in getting us settled into the apartment and providing valuable insight to the city. She provided us with a map and highlighted areas to visit and included vaporetto line numbers and sample itineraries. She hand wrote on the map to include her favorite restaurants or places in the city to get the best views for pictures. That part was really helpful and helped us have a great trip. She also pointed us to areas in Venice where we would be the only tourists and usually only locals go. It was neat to be able to walk around those neighborhoods to see what it’s like for true venietians.
We travelled the first week of February so there were some businesses and restaurants that seemed closed for the season. But just make your way back to San Marco or Rialto and you’ll start seeing more places to eat/shop.

I would highly recommend this apartment. Not only is it modern and clean but the location was perfect for us.
