What a gem! The apartment was beautiful; lush with color with two large rooms, great bathroom and shower and a small kitchen. Just as pictured in the Airbnb description. The windows overlooked a small canal where gondolas go by from time to time. The apartment is very close to a vaporetto stop and to St. Marks Square, the Rialto and Academia bridges, and very close to the Fenice Theater but out of the hub bub of tourist crowds. Just what we were hoping for. Erika met us at the vaporetto stop and gave us a thorough orientation to the area and things we might want to explore. She was generous with her time which was greatly appreciated. It takes a little patience, time and a sense of adventure to navigate Venice. Erika's orientation got going until we started to get the hang of finding our way around.
