I was in Venice to do some research; this was a perfect location. Arrivals and departures are easy because it is close to the bus station (from Venice airport, etc.) and train station. At the same time, the apartment is just far enough from the stations and main tourist routes to be calm and quiet. All the main sites in the historic center are within easy walking distance. The single room, where I stayed, is simple but spacious and well-equipped, as is the kitchen. Both Alec (who picked me up from the station) and Fran are friendly and helpful. I was delighted to be able to stay here.
