This was my first trip to Venice and my first time using only the train for travel. Chris provided picture instructions from the train and those were absolutely perfect! When you are in a foreign country and in a new place, it usually takes me a day or two to get my bearings. I found his directions extremely helpful. The apartment itself was very clean and comfortable. I was with a friend, so I used the sleeper sofa and it was very comfortable (which I wasn't expecting). The location was far enough from the main tourist area and off the main walking thoroughfare, but super easy to get too. Viorica was very helpful, met us at the apartment and showed us around. We did not have enough time in Venice and if I ever get the chance to go back, I would certainly stay here again!
