Linda's apartment was perfect for my mother's and my vacation! The location cannot be beat. There are a lot of steep stairs, but very common in Venice so it was expected. Everything is close by and we pretty much walked everywhere. We arrived by train and the vaparetto was easy to use and the station close to the apartment. Linda was incredibly responsive. Unfortunately she was out of town during our stay and not able to greet us to check-in, but she left the keys for us in a nearby luggage storage place. It was difficult to find at first, but after asking a local we did find it and there were no further issues. The only minor issue was the air conditioning unit on the top level. There was a central unit in the bedroom on the main floor which was fine, but the top level had a portable unit that required you to keep the door open all the time to have the hose let the hot air out. We were not necessarily comfortable doing that so both ended up sleeping in the main bedroom where we had intended for one of us to sleep upstairs.
