The host's Roberto and Allessandra were the kindest most considerate people I have met in a long time. They helped us out in our hour of need, and were very prompt in answering any questions we asked, The apartment itself was very clean and tidy, and recently refurbished. It gave you the best of both worlds, as it was far enough away from the crowds to give you the chance to sample 'local' Venice in the back streets of Cannaregio, but didn't take too long to walk to the main attractions. Getting to and from the apartment was also easy, as we got on the Orange line waterbus at the airport, got off at Orto, where we were met by Allessandra, only to have a 5 min walk to the apartment. Overall a super place to stay
