This lovely apartment is located in a quiet area, but still very close to shops and restaurants. It has beautiful private courtyards on both sides of the rectangular shaped space. You do not have access to them, but they are nice to view thru your many windows. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the property which gives a bit more privacy. We were met at the apartment by Rita who explained controls and locations of the various appliances and allowed to leave our bags while she cleaned the space after the previous guests. Evelina was prompt to respond to our questions and we really enjoyed our stay there. If you are not familiar with Venice, make sure you get a map and or do some research on getting around in the area. It's very easy to get lost and while it's fun to explore, it's not fun when dragging around a lot of luggage.
