Mariacaterina was the perfect hostess. Her communication was great. She arranged for her mom to meet us at the apartment to provide us with the keys and to show us around. The apartment was super clean and had everything you would need for a visit. The small balcony was a highlight. We observed that not many residential buildings had balconies on the water. The location could not be more perfect for exploring Venice. The water taxi will drop you off and pick up from the dock that is immediately outside of the apartment. You should consider yourself fortunate to be able to stay here.
