Great apartment. Very easy to get to initially upon arrival (does take nearly 2hr by public water bus from airport, so long, but easy, trip). When you see all the other tourists dragging luggage through the tangle of streets in Venice, you appreciate the easy arrival! Location was great overall -- the free hilton shuttle to the main part of Venice runs 1-2 times per hour depending on the location and runs for decent hours so that for most of the trip, I didn't need to use the expensive public transport system (only did when going to outer islands and when I needed to be at the train station too early for hilton shuttle). Also very safe location since right next to Hilton on waterfront -- no wandering around dark narrow streets if coming back late at night. Apartment itself was also great. Lots of space, comfy bed, nice bathrooms (although a tad musty smelling, and no bathtub if you care about that). Having a kitchen and laundry is a life-saver on a long trip, and it's near a grocery store. It is along a canal with a lot of boat traffic, which you can hear a bit even with the window closed, but it was not loud or bothersome (might have been a bit with the window open though). Price was no more than for a regular hotel room, and you get far more for the money in the apartment!! I highly recommend and would absolutely stay here again if I go back to Venice.
