Check in was easy, and the apartment is a quick walk from the the San Samuele water bus stop. Great location on the island, a quick walk to St. Mark's, Rialto, and many bars and restaurants. If you are using the bedroom and the pull-out couch, keep in mind that there is no bedroom door. Also, ceilings are pretty low so if you are tall (I'm 6'3") there are some tricky spaces (bathroom and kitchen). Overall very happy though and would recommend the apartment to anyone!
