Sofia's apartment is gorgeous and spacious! There were very nice touches everywhere, including some snacks and a bowl of fruit, plus a very spacious bathroom with some extra toiletries, plus books, CDs and radio/TV. Easy walking distance from the vaporetto stop, or even from Santa Lucia train station. Sofia even printed a gondola ride ticket for us when we realized that we needed one. It is close to grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and nightlife, which is both good and bad since a lot of the nightlife is on the ground floor below tha apartment beside the canal. Nonetheless, we loved our stay and highly recommend Sofia's apartment for a great taste of Venice life.
