Large, comfortable apartment, far out of the tourist areas, but only a ten minute walk to the Rialto area or to Piazza San Marco. Giovanni met us at the vaporetto stop (less than 5 mins walk from the apartment) and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. His neighborhood is quiet, has its own good restaurants and bars, and feels more authentic than those parts of Venice that feel as though as they have been "arranged" to look the way tourists expect. It was a great value and a relaxing place to come back to. It is also very well appointed, and yes, the internet is fast!
