The place is very much as it looks in the photos. Nice hallway, dining area with TV (never switched on) and stereo. Small kitchen and decent size bedroom. With the excellent fish market two minutes away you won't starve. There's not a lot of work space in the kitchen so buy quality ingredients and keep it simple. There's a good range of cafes and bars near by a couple of supermarkets too. Check out Suso for ice cream on the other side of the Rialto bridge. We became a bit obsessed. Otherwise it's worth knowing that there's a good range of guide books in English plus other books about Venice too - some in English others not. The washing machine has a dryer function. I mention this because if you pack properly you could therefore manage a week with just hand luggage. We came in from Marco Polo airport by water bus but I think the better way is just to take the bus to Piazzale Roma - quicker and cheaper. Paula Cinzia and their mum came and met us at the Rialto market bus stop and the apartment is two minutes from there. Just text them on your way from the airport - it couldn't be more simple. I hope if you read this review and book your stay will be as wonderful as the week we spent.
