Fantastic location, minutes away from St Marks Square and Rialto Bridge. We were lucky to stumble across some 'popular with the locals' bars, both nearby the apartment. We could have done with a bit of help from our hosts actually finding places such as a good restaurant. We managed to find our way ok in the end, but with so many tourist trap restaurants around we feel that a bit more help would have been appreciated, especially since my boyfriend specifically asked for help in choosing a nice restaurant, yet no help was offered. Marina did not actually meet us, only her friend was there to give us the keys, which was not a problem but we felt they could have done more to ensure we knew where things were, such as the supermarket. A map with pins in or written directions would have helped a lot. Also, a little travel kettle for two tea-guzzling Brits was a little inadequate! Finally, we struggled to phone local numbers, not knowing which part of the code to use or omit, it just ended in frustration and not being able to book things on the phone. Our hosts could have helped by assisting us with booking the shows we wanted to see, instead of turning up on the night and hoping for the best. We saw the show 'The Story Of Venice'. In my opinion don't bother wasting your money, it was like amateur dramatics and in a pokey little theatre. Aside from all that Do Not Hesitate to book this apartment! The rooftop terrace was just perfect, and the whole place is surprisingly quiet and clean (the city itself I mean). No traffic or machinery noise, no dog mess or funny smells, just absolutely fantastic, and Marina's apartment was just wonderful.
