Eduardo's english speaking friend met us at the boat to lead us to the apartment. It was as clean and sparkling as it shows in the picture, in an excellent location in Venice right along the main path from the Rialto to the train station. The apartment was very well equipped and everything was new. The host showed us how everything worked in the neighborhood and took us to see the nearest grocery store before leaving. This apartment will give you a comfortable base to explore Venice and feel like a local.
