Guido's friend Paola met me at the Fondamente Nove vaporetto stop to show us into the apartment. She was very helpful in orienting us with the aid of a map, and pointed out good recommendations in the area. I travel to Venice frequently for dissertation research and I highly recommend this listing!
You really could not get a better location than this apartment. For any trip to Venice, I prefer to stay near the Fondamente Nove - it makes it easier to get to and from both the airport and the train station, and it saves you from having to lug your suitcase through Venice's otherwise peaceful streets (something that the locals also appreciate). At this apartment you won't even have to navigate a single bridge to get there. This is a typical Venetian apartment with all of the quirks of an older Italian building that I love. That being said, everything was clean and well organized. The kitchen was adequately set up for cooking meals. This apartment is an ideal base for an extended stay in Venice with up to four people. We were even able to use the washing machine during our stay, which was a great help as I was on a longer trip.
