Our host, Giovanna, met us from the water taxi, having given us easy instructions on how to reach there from the airport. She walked us to the apartment, which is in a charming, quiet residential district of the city, but within 15 minutes walking to St Mark's Square and the very centre of town. Besides, a water taxi that travels the Grand Canal leaves every few minutes from the near-by stop. The apartment is very comfortable, and it was well equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking pots. It was what we had expected from the ads in AirBnB. The upstairs bedroom has a big comfortable double bed and a single bed, and is spacious and with an en suite bathroom. So the accommodation is ideal for a family or partners. The living room couch converts into a reasonably comfortable double bed too, but this arrangement is less ideal as it means dismantling the bed if one is to use it as a living room for any length of time. But one doesn't go to Venice to sit indoors! Having two bathrooms makes for a really comfortable apartment and easy living.
