Rita and Agata were extremely hospitable and provided us with a warm welcome when we arrived. Agata gave us wonderful suggestions for places to eat and visit and we ended up going to many of them - some were the highlights of our stay in Venice. The apartment itself was extremely spacious, clean and comfortable and in a central location near the boat stop. It was an easy walk to many places. The only challenge was that it was really loud at night even on weekdays because of a bar across the way. Be mindful that during the day it is in a bustling area with shops and restaurants and super close to St. Mark's Square. The back room was the quietest which faced a small courtyard, but even with the windows closed, we had to sleep with earbuds.
