Mario met us right outside the apartment and took us in and showed us everything we needed. The apartment was in a good location - just about a 10-12 minute walk from the train station, with no vaporetto ride required. It's still really easy to get to the sites in Venice from here too. The apartment was in a really safe area, and was recently renovated. While on the smaller end (it's Venice...), it was still comfortable and didn't feel cramped. It was a comfortable and convenient place to stay. The washer and dryer were really nice to have as well.
