The apartment was very centrally located... minutes walking from Rialto Bridge and St. Marks Square. Raffaella was a great host, following up on our trip and giving us suggestions for sight seeing and food. We arrived very late at night but her colleague was there to greet us and take us to the house which we would not have been able to find without her help. In fact, we got lost once and Raffaella was quick to get us back on track (advice - don't follow google maps here, use Raffaella's instructions! :))
The best part was that we could check out anytime! This again was a great help because our train was at 8 in the evening and we didn't have to worry about where to leave our luggage. We comfortably roamed Venice the whole day.
Some advice, take good stock of the ground floor, the iron, clothes rack, etc are stored there and not in the apartment itself...
Thanks Raffaella for a great stay.
