We had a great stay at Giorgia and Michele's apartment. It is just like the photos, right on a small canal about a block off the Grand Canal. I didn't realize that the street network is mostly for pedestrians -- no taxi access, no buses, etc. But when they say located at the train station, or Scalzi Bridge, they mean it! It's walking distance from the main Piazza if you know where you're going. If you don't know, the address alone is not much help. You really need to have a working mobile phone or use a pay phone (which are available for 1 euro) to call Giorgia & Michele. We learned that the hard way but we managed! Considering its great location, the apartment is very quiet but probably because it's three floors up. We'd love to rent there again on our next trip to Venice.
