Perfect location, excellent and attentive hosting, and it was really helpful to know where the supermarkets and recommended restaurants were!
just be sure to check the meeting point is just one alleyway away at the hotel. The alley on which the apartment is located shares the same name as another in Venice- the one you need is right in the centre near to the fancy shops!
The best Neapolitan style pizza we had was at rossopomodoro just off st marks square, and we'd highly recommend doing Venice kayak if you get a chance! Best way to see the city is by boat!
