Carlo (Patrizia's husband) met us at the apartment and showed us around the place. He was very thorough and detailed, which made me feel very confident that we had a host that would take care of us. We didn't need any help, so we didn't have any further contact, but I really appreciated the time he took right when we arrived.

The apartment is clean and has everything you need. The air conditioning unit was a blessing in this hot summer weather. We asked about places to go for dinner when we first arrived and Carlo gave good recommendations.

The apartment isn't in the main traffic of the tourists, which was quite nice. Once you get off of the main path from the train station, it's quiet and there are only a few people roaming the streets. The location is nice, and Venice is so small that we were able to walk anywhere we wanted to. We loved being right next to a canal!
