The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating, and t he location wonderful, being both central but also removed from the really touristy routes. A good supermarket is nearby, as is a vaporetto stop and post office. The apartments is just as it's appears in the listing, very clean and comfortable. However, the sitting area is really a bit cramped and not very functional. The common area becomes the kitchen which is comfortable, functional, and well equipped. We had a great stay and would be happy to return next time we find ourselves in Venice.
