What a great place and great host!

Location:
This apt. is located just far enough off the tourist path to be quiet and make you feel like a local, but close enough to everything that you can have your choice of a dozen restaurants within a 3-5 minute walk. I carried pizza out one night and even walking slowly (sore feet!) it was still too hot to eat when I got home! Less than 5-min walk to San Ste Vaporetto stop, a 5 min walk the other direction to Rialto area (and cicchetti!), a view over two canals (with gondolas passing by), rooftop views, and close to the Friari!

Apt.:
HUGE! All new furniture, feels very recently remodeled. Immaculately clean, working clothes washer (with detergent supplied), a kitchen that's stocked with everything, including small snacks, some water in the fridge, salt, sugar, olive oil, etc. This was as nice as staying in my own home can be while traveling. Extra pillows and blankets, great wifi. Perfecto!

Host.:
Very kind. She could not meet us, but her cousin Leone met us (she even texted me a pic so I'd recognize him!). Small miscommunication on my part that we needed to utilize the foldout couch (traveling with my 16 yr. old son), but I texted Leone and he came right over and provided bedding and would not accept extra money for that. Provided directions to closest market, which was also very helpful.
