Location, location, location! Very central with easy walking to a lot of the sites as well as the Vaporetto stop. We had everything we needed, although a few more towels would be appreciated. There is a well equipped grocery store a few steps away so it was very easy to keep the kitchen supplied. We didn't get to meet Cristina, but the staff in her store gave us very good directions on how to get to the apartment. We did have difficulty understanding how to dispose of our garbage at the end of our stay. The instructions just weren't specific enough and we never did find the public bins. Thanks again Cristina for your understanding. We would definitely come back.
