The apartment in Venice is brilliant. Very conveniently situated 5 minutes wall from the Madonna del orto first water taxi stop, quiet venetian neighbourhood away from all the tourists, about 40 minutes walk to St Marco square.
The apartment itself is very clean, warm, and we'll equipped. Sofia even left some basic provisions for us. She also sent us detailed maps and directions of how to find the apartment, as well as a complimentary map of Venice with local restaurants pointed out.
Within 5 minutes walk there are about 5 restaurants, 2 supermarkets, a pharmacy, butchers, and a nice local bakery basically underneath the apartment for lovely fresh croissants and bread.
We would highly recommend Sofias apartment to anyone wanting to stay in a convenient location as part of a true Venice neighbourhood.
