When stepping off the vaporetti, Francesca was right there to to greet us. We only had to walk a few steps down an ally to find the grand doors that opened to the courtyard of the apartment. Only had to go up 2 flights of stairs to reach the apt. It was very clean and stocked with everything 2 women travelers needed-blow dryer,washing machine, iron and board,WiFi so we could share our photos. The canal was right below our windows and it was fun to say ciao to the gondolas. The location was good, a little bit away from the crowds but within just a couple minute walk to everything and anything (if one doesn’t get lost). While it was a hike we even walked to the train station for a winery tour. Easy on and off the public water bus due to the location. Apartment is as photographed. Would definitely recommend this apartment!
