Roberto's apartment, Bandiera of Arsenale, is an ideal place for a couple or even a small family to stay over in Venice. We spent four nights there and it is clean, spacious and comfortable with a nice little kitchen though we didn't make much use of it. The bed was also very comfortable, the bathroom facilities were great and it was very peaceful.
Roberto was also very helpful even though we didn't meet him in person and always responded quickly and clearly, sending maps etc to help us find the his place.
It's just a five minute walk to the front on the Riva De Schiavone and the Arsenale and San Zaccheretti waterbus and Alilaguna boat stops and about 10 minutes to St Mark's Square.
There's a little bakery nearby for breakfast pastries and a brilliant little bar Osteria Alla Rampa where a glass of wine is 2 euros. Good nearby restaurants are Osteria Ae Spezie and Osteria alla Bandiera though I wouldn't bother with the nearest.
You get a real feel that you're in the heart of the city and surrounded by locals who live and work there and we found them very friendly and helpful.
Great place and super host and happy to recommend.
