The apartment was really well located close to good local restaurants and shops. It had a really good supermarket a couple of minutes away. It was very easy to get to mainland Venice by the local bus and we were able to get tickets for the bus from a nearby hotel. This is helpful as other places we stayed at didn't have places close by to buy tickets. It also has private parking. The apartment was super clean and homely - really reminded me of my Aunt's place in Naples! It was very quiet during the day and night. It had air conditioning which we were grateful for. Simone was a brilliant host and was incredibly friendly and helpful. He spoke very good English and has lots of good tips about the area. He even booked us a table at a lovely local restaurant.
