Mirka's place is a fantastic spot for those interested in a calmer neighborhood with easy access to the Vaporetto & La Biennale. There are several convenient restaurants, as well as a deli, a fruit stand, and a pharmacy nearby. The Giardini and Arsenale are within walking distance, as well as Garibaldi street which has many great restaurants and more pharmacies and grocers. The rest of Venice is accessible very easily via the Sant' Elenna Vaporetto stop that is moments from the house. The apartment has all you would need to eat in if you'd like, and the bathroom is larger and nicer than most in Venice. Mirka is an excellent host and very generous. Highly recommend this spot.
