Highly recommended. The host greeted us perfectly and gave us a fantastic introduction/overview of everything when we arrived at the apt. They provided a booklet of maps, lists of food, tours, transportation and such which became handy and used often. Paolo was easily reachable and reliable in every instance when we had questions. The apartment is perfect for 3 people - in my case 2 adults and 1 child. The location is perfect if you want to be a bit away from the massive crowds in San Marco. You run into more locals with Rialto Mercato around the corner and truly see the beautiful market activity each morning (except Sunday). I would stay here again and recommend to others. I do suggest for you bring bug spray. There is a case of mosquitoes around the island due to the water/lagoon environment. I am grateful for Paolo and Silvia for their hospitality. Venice is beautiful!
