Our experience was great and the apartment was just as described. Laura, our host, came to the boat landing as soon as we arrived and took us to the apartment (5 min walk). She gave us great addresses and advice, specially the one to get in the St Marco cathedral without waiting. The place was very clean, well stocked of sugar, coffee, etc. and extremely quiet. The location was great, about 8 minutes from the Rialto bridge and all the vaparettos. The only drawback to the apartment was the steep and narrow staircase to the 2nd floor which is considered the 3rd floor for us Americans.
