Giovanna and her English speaking niece, Francessca, were very helpful and accommodating. They were kind enough to meet us late in the evening. The apartment is tucked away in a very quiet area, but close to the train station and the CREA vaporetto stop which makes it convenient to get to the major sites (otherwise it's about a 30 minute walk). The apartment is spacious and well appointed (the Proseco, coffee and other food items provided were much appreciated). Really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.
