We stayed in close communication with our host Adriana prior to arriving since our flight to Venice was delayed. However the delay caused no issues and through text messaging we were able to meet at the location near the apartment with Adriana's son Christian. Christian was very friendly and courteous asking to carry our bags and guiding us to the apartment through the alleys and streets. Once we arrived Christian showed us the various rooms, kitchen accessories, and appliances in the apartment then reviewed our location and the water taxi schedule in a book he left with us which was very helpful.

The location was very good. We were right near the market and a short walk to the Rialto bridge. The location felt very safe even the first time we got lost late one night on our way back to the apartment. Everything we saw and did we walked to. The water taxi pickup was only a few minute walk as well.

We did contact our host the night before leaving when we realized we didn't buy water taxi tickets back to the airport and the office was closed but he immediately responded letting us know we could buy tickets on the boat in the morning, which helped alleviate our concerns as we got caught up in all the beauty Venice has to offer.

We would both recommend the apartment, location, and host and certainly the beautiful streets, alleys, and waterways of Venice that seem to go on forever.
