The apartment is large and comfortable. The bed is super comfortable. Wi-fi worked great as did the washing machine. Cooking was easy in the galley style kitchen.

The location is great. We loved being in a quiet neighborhood away from the crowds. It is a short pretty walk to the vaporetto stop and a short walk in another direction to shopping and cafes. Near the apartment is a very nice restaurant Bar Paradiso in the Giardini. It was pleasant to have dinner or drinks on the terrace at night and look out at the lagoon.

For runners: We went for a run through the Giardini and out to St. Elena. It is also possible to run on the waterfront in Castello or easy to take the vaporetto ferry to Lido.

Luigi waited for us when our boat from the airport took longer than expected and gave us a very thorough explanation of the apartment and great tips on getting around in the neighborhood. I would love to come back and stay again.
