Apartment is as pictured, and a wonderful central location for everything you want to do in Venice. Sandra gave me many travel trips and sent several options for my arrival. Once I decided, she arranged for her nephew to meet me at the water taxi stop to show me how to get to the apartment (I would have found it, but since it was dark and rainy when I arrived, it was great to have the guidance!). He also gave me several restaurant recommendations and assured me that I'd quickly figure out my way around (he was right!). I highly recommend staying in Sandra's apartment!
