This is a superb apartment and we hope to return. It is located in a courtyard just off a really picturesque canal a short walk from the Fondamente Nove vaporetto stop - brilliant for getting to and from the airport. It is around 15 or 20 minutes walk to San Marco which makes this a great location from which to explore Venice. The apartment is large, modern, stylishly decorated and spotlessly clean and the kitchen has all the equipment you would need to to cook a full meal. There is a washing machine and the bed is extremely comfortable. Gian could not have been more helpful. He replied promptly to all communications, and sent clear maps indicating how to find the apartment (finding anywhere in Venice can be a nightmare). He lives with his family just below the apartment and went out of his way to be helpful, full of useful advice about how to enjoy Venice to the full. He greatly added to the pleasure of our stay in Venice and if anything had gone wrong, I feel sure he would have dealt with it immediately and effectively. I cannot recommend this apartment too highly - we are looking forward to staying there again.
