Sabine is a great host and her apartment is in the very best of Venice locations. The Accademia area is close to everything but far enough from the throngs of tourists to feel like a real place. You can walk to Saint Mark's in 15 minutes but it feels like you're miles away from that madness. The vaporetto stop, the Accademia Gallery, great artisanal gelato, good restaurants and a very good supermarket are all minutes away on foot. The apartment is spotless and very comfortable. You couldn't do better.
