Great apartment in a nice, non-touristy area of Venice. Lots of nice restaurants and cafés in walking distance, easy to get everywhere (St. Mark's Square, Rialto). Paolo's tipps for places to see and restaurants to try were superb. Just one tipp for anyone coming to the apartment: When you open the windows at night (even without having any lights on), be aware that there are many mosquitos during summer time - don't forget to turn on the mosquito defender that is in the apartment. Will save you from a lot of itching ;)
