Apartment is in a quiet neighborhood away from the tourist areas, but easy to get to the train station and a vaparetto stop. Easy walk to Rialto Bridge. Apartment was perfect for a family of 4. Paolo was very responsive to any questions, provided tips for restaurants, provided a welcome bottle of wine and other drinks, and met us at our water taxi to let us in (stops right by the front door). Air conditioning was nice respite from the muggy weather. Great place to stay!
