EXCELLENT location! In the heart of San Marco down a very quiet, picturesque Calle (Coppo). The apt is right on one of the smaller canals- you get gondoliers passing by pretty regularly. It really isn't loud- most are not singing, those that do sing are decent at it so you know, it's part of the charm. Fairly spacious apt- especially by European standards. There was a nice bottle of prosecco waiting.

There are only 2 champagne flutes- no standard wine glasses- just fyi if you happen to pick up a few bottles of local red wine for a lunch "in."

The hot water heater was a bit tricky to work but once running was excellent.

Meeting Michele wasn't too difficult though getting oriented among all the Calles of Venice is daunting at first. There's a decent grocer around the corner, and the rialto market isn't a far walk if you want to cook in. Utensils are a bit sparse- the chef's knife is duller than most butter knives- just fyi. You'll need to buy your own seasonings- no salt or oil on hand- though we left a small bottle of oil and vinegar for the next guest. There's a washing machine (small) and you'll need to buy detergent.

I'd definitely stay here again!
