Viorica answered all my questions beforehand promptly and accurately. Chris, her son, was there to meet us at the station and was available throughout our stay if we needed anything. The apartment was spacious, perfectly clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Full size cooker and washing machine, drying rack and ironing board, generally well equipped kitchen including real coffee, tea, even a bottle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic dressing - it felt like home from home. The apartment is located in a quiet residential area away from the tourist mayhem but close to a good range of shops and to the water bus on the Grand Canal. 15 minutes walk from St Mark's Square if you can stop yourself meandering (we couldn't!). It was a perfect apartment for us, it really made our stay.
