Stefano and his son were very responsive. The apartment is clean and in a convenient location near the train station and farther away from the loud and touristy areas. We were able to check-in a little early since there was no guest the previous night.There are plenty of restaurants, bars and grocery stores nearby. It is on the ground floor so you might hear people walking by. The apartment is equipped for everything you need if you want to cook, prepare a snack, keep food in the fridge or make coffee. Stefano had great recommendations and took the time to show us points of interest on the map he provided. It is a nice and affordable option for Venice. Thank you!
