We were worried about finding the location as we had never been to Venice before and there are no taxis to get you to your front door, but Mauricio met us at the water taxi drop off and walked us to the apartment giving us great dining tips along the way. The location is fabulous, overlooking a small canal with gondoliers moving back and forth, but away from the crazy tourist attractions. Very quiet and charming. There is a nice market down the street to buy wine, cheese, etc if you don't want to go out for dinner, but rather stay in and enjoy the area. I would highly recommend this apartment.
