The apartment is in a great place being minutes from the fish and food markets, and not too far to walk to the main attractions. It is easy to get lost in Venice, but Aldo showed us the direct route and we soon got used to finding our way around. Visiting in October, the evenings were starting to get chilly, but the apartment is beautifully warm. The stove is a hob with one electric and three gas rings, there isn't an oven or grill, but we found it works fine for self catering.The kitchen is well equipped with pots etc. The bed is a good size and the mattress is firm. The area is quiet and felt very safe. A good base for discovering Venice.
