Antonella's apartment in Venice easily accommodated our party of five for three days in Venice. It is quite spacious allowing plenty of room for lots of luggage and the trappings of people on the road. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to cook several meals, including staples like olive oil etc. Antonella was kind enough to leave some water, fruit and other supplies which was lovely.

The apartment is easy to find (Antonella met us at the last bridge and showed us directly to the apartment) and you can walk to it readily from Santa Lucia Station. It took us less than 15 minutes lugging suitcases behind us (there are only two bridges to cross). Cannareggio is a lovely part of Venice to stay in, away from the tourist hustle and bustle of San Marco. There are many great restaurants, bars and gelaterias close by. The only negative would be the street noise late at night, however it did die down before midnight, and sometimes even in the best hotels you get noise from the streets below.

We would highly recommend Antonella as a host (her communication was fantastic) and her wonderful apartment with its gorgeous canal view.
