We arrived in Venice during a deluge and were soaked to the skin by the time we arrived at the apartment. Federico and his wife Cristina were waiting inside to welcome us. The distance from the train station was not very far and it was an easy walk, even with luggage. We had absolutely no trouble locating the apartment despite hearing terrible stories of Venice streets! There were several excellent restaurants very close to the apartment and we especially loved having a market right down the block. In the apartment we had everything we needed for a nice stay. The air conditioning worked well, the kitchen was well equipped and the neighborhood was very very quiet. We had a great time and would stay again. Thank you Federico and Cristina!
