As per the arrangements we were met by a friend of our host and escorted to the apartment. It is always a nice surprise when everything works as has been discussed especially considering the maze like streets that are Venice.

On arriving at the apartment it was clear we had made a good choice. It is very well located and while in the very local area of Cannaregio, it is only steps away from anywhere you need to go. The apartment is very spacious and looks onto an internal courtyard that is for the most part very quiet.

A couple of things to note is the apartment is on the third floor and while not a problem (other than the initial carrying of luggage up the stairs) it may be a consideration for some. Also, the water pressure in the shower was not great.

Otherwise, this is a very nice apartment in a great part of town and thank you to Marina for her hospitality.
