Antonio was very welcoming, meeting us on the Rialto Bridge just around the corner from the apartment. The apartment lived up to expectations, being spacious and well equipped and Antonio was available to help when the power went off. The locality is very convenient for the Rialto Market, the vaporetto and general access to Venice, yet was away from the well trodden tourist route in that area. It was amazingly quiet for such a central location. You need to be aware that there will be a little bit of noise from local businesses setting up and closing down but this was not a major problem. You could not get much more convenient than this!
