Cristina and her family are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The apartment is excellent. It is simple to reach from the airport and station and is very convenient for the vaporetto lines. After very active days in Venice and on the islands it was delightful to come back to this very comfortable apartment in such a tranquil spot in its secure garden / courtyard. An added advantage is that although the area is quiet (not too many tourists!) there are numerous places to eat and drink well at very reasonable prices. All in all a super apartment and we would definitely go back.
