Emiliano was a great host. The apartment is great but most importantly very conveniently located. It is only 7 minutes walking from Arsenale. From the airport you take B boat, an hr later you're at Arsenale. from the appartment walking about 10 min gets you Rialto Bridge. Very quiet and nice neighborhood. You get to enjoy Venice without all of the tourist shops and hustlers. Definitely recommend. The apartment itself it's not and anyway luxurious but it's comfortable.
