We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was exactly as described - a very good location that was a short walk from many water taxi stops, a few minutes from St. Marks Square, and 10 minutes to the Rialto Bridge. The apartment was spotless and well maintained and equipped. They had a combo washer-dryer inside the apartment which was very convenient. The apartment is on the 2nd floor (1 flight of stairs) and there is an elevator if needed. The host's friend Paola met us at check in and she was friendly and offered good tips for our stay. We would definitely stay here again and it was perfect for our first time visiting Venice.
