We asked the host to order us water taxi on arrival and departure and we did enjoy the ride immensely. The host greeted us at the water taxi stop and walked with us to the apartment. The apartment is very private, located in a small backyard with some great restaurant experience right outside (Do forni ristorant and Trattoria Zulian Pizzeria there Risotto ai Fruitti di Mare was very good). The apartment was spacious, clean and had very high sealings. Few of the beds are rather hard but people have very different taste in those matters so it is hard to judge! The kitchen chairs make a lot of noise when they are moved!
But we did not use the apartment much beyond sleeping. Venice has so much to offer so there is no time for staying in!
