We had a lovely stay at Victoria's place. It was sparkling clean and extremely quiet. We couldn't hear any street noise at all and slept well. Venice is a street without cars so be prepared to lug your bag over cobblestone streets -- this is the time to pack light! Victoria had someone meet us at the boat so it was no problem finding the apartment, though Venice does seem a bit like a maze of streets. The apartment is a perfect size for a couple for a short stay and was an excellent value, very close to St. Mark's Square and the main tourist things. We had no problem walking everywhere we wanted to go!
