This apartment was in the best location. Literally nothing was more than a few minutes' walk away. Andrea was fantastic--he met us at the free parking spot, about 5 miles outside the city, and helped us take the bus and water taxi into the heart of Venice. From there it was about a 5 minute walk to the apartment. The apartment was small, but the layout made it really livable. We loved the multiple windows with the old fashioned wood shutters, and the canal was RIGHT below our window.
