Raffaella gave us excellent instructions from the airport and then she met us when we got off the vaporetto at Ca' d'Oro and took us to the apartment. We were delighted with the apartment. It suited our needs perfectly. It was exactly as described with a big bedroom and a small kitchen and very small sitting room, but wonderfully central with a supermarket and other shops close by, only 3 minutes from the vaporetto stop, and 2 minutes from a Gondola stop where you can cross over to the Fish/Veg market for only 2 Euros by gondola. I think it's a perfect apartment for one or two people, and being so central you can pop back during the day if you want to prepare food or just relax away from the crowds. The windows look out onto narrow passageway on either side of the building so there are no 'views' as such, but the upside of that is that it is incredible quite and cool at night so we slept really well. The WiFi works really well which was super as I needed to do some work when I was there. The area is lovely and you can quickly get away from the tourist crowds and find some nice bars and restaurants that have a much more 'local' feeling, and the area seems totally safe. However being in an old building with doorway lintels are not very high I think very tall people might feel a bit cramped but otherwise I'd highly recommend it and I would definitely stay here again when I visit Venice. (There is a 2 Euro per night Tourist Tax that you need to pay in cash on arrival )
