Lovely apart in a very quiet section of Venice. Far enough from the tourist area that it feels authentic and you're not surrounded by crowds but close enough to get to St Mark's square with a short boat is or a 25 minute walk. Paulo was also very nice, taking the time to meet us and explain where things were in the neighborhood. They also shocked the apartment with extras such as a bottle of wine as well as juice and mineral water. There were also a few other staples such as coffee, tea, sugar and oil and salt. Overall, a very nice experience in a lovely apartment. Minor point: good for two people or two couples. We were three single people so one of us took the couch since there are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with a king size bed.
