The apartment is centrally located and is easily accessible by either Academia or Zatterre vapaterro stops providing convenient access to all the sites in Venice. The apartment is spacious and very comfortably fit our family of 5. The apartment included all basic necessities (kitchen appliances, iron etc.). Living spaces include a patio and a dining room that allowed our family to socialize and interact. Tom was easily accessible and provided detailed instructions for use of the apartment. A couple of observerations, not criticisms - The house rules where a few pages long, which were emailed in advance, and were again explained in painstaking detail at the time of the check-in. I understand Tom has previously had some unfortunate experiences with some guests that have made him develop the detailed house rules. Tom is well travelled, and has formed his view of cultures and nationalities that he is not bashful of sharing. His style of communication can be a bit of an acquired taste !
