Margherita met us near the train station for the short walk to her place. The apartment is in a quiet residential neighborhood. You can walk to other parts of Venice but since some areas are quite far off, we also made use of the public boat system which was easy to use. We traveled as a family of 4 with 2 college age children. The layout of the apartment worked well since both kids had their own space. The kitchen was very well equipped. The bathroom was exceptionally nice with a separate area for getting ready in the morning apart from the shower area. Our bedroom was quite spacious. I would recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Venice--particularly great if you are arriving by train.
