Martina helped us before we arrived with instructions to find the apartment, very helpful in Venice. She greeted us within a few minutes after we arrived, and got us settled in. A few other guests arrived and left during our stay in the other room, and we got some travel tips from them. Had to share bathroom, but it worked out well, and barely saw anyone there during our stay. This is a great location in Venice, close to transportation and as it goes was relatively easy to get there. If you have a lot of luggage, you may consider a porter or paying some of the locals to have carry it over the two big bridges on the way - other wise be prepared for a workout shuttling your bags up and down. Great restaurants and grocery store within a few minute walk.
