This place is gorgeous, sparkling clean, super comfy beds, beautiful sunlight in the apartment. We liked staying on the mainland, it was a pleasant break after a day of hectic sight seeing and the crush of people on the island. Getting to the island was very easy, the train is a short walk from the apartment. The host and hostess responded very quickly when we had difficulty with the shower, (didn't drain that fast, roll up a bath sheet, place at the edge of the compartment, you're good to go) We ate at two places Andrea recommended and the food and vibe were lovely. Go see Venice and stay at this place!
