the apartment is brand new, comfortable, excellent air conditioning. the only small negative is that it's a third floor unit; lots of steps to navigate.
Massimo couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. He met us at check in. Showed us how everything worked and gave us some great suggestions for restaurants. The location is perfect. It's about a block and a half from the Riva de Biasio stop on the #1 line which makes it easy to reach after getting off the airport bus, the train or from Tronchetto. Also makes it easy to reach any other neighborhood in Venice. An excellent choice if you are ok with walking up three flights of stairs.
