Valeria's apartment is very well situated - only two stops by boat to the airport and less than 10 minutes walk from the train station. So there are very few bridges if any to cross with luggage on arrival and departure.
While this area of Venice has fewer sights, we did find however a fantastic range of restaurants and bars serving cicchetti where you can pick up lunch with wine for €20 euros a head, or wine by the glass for €2 - €3 euros. We found walking to St. Mark's or the Rialto quite straight forward - maybe 15 minutes to the Rialto at a fairly leisurely pace.
The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos. Very well decorated and equipped, extremely clean, excellent aircon, comfortable beds.
Valeria is very friendly and approachable and gave us lots of helpful tips and directions.
We had a fantastic stay!
