We had a lovely time at this very convenient apartment - just off the beaten track away from the tourist hub. Don't be put off by the entrance which is a 'typical' entrance to many venetian homes. Quiet, but close to a great selection of bars / restaurants and tapas bars and easy to get anywhere in this special city.
Lu provided us with a selection of suggested places to eat which we found easily, a couple you needed to book but those we ate at offered excellent venetian food at reasonable prices.
Getting to the main tourist area was an easy walk and we avoided the vaporette during our stay preferring to walk round the back streets – and get lost – which was all part of the fun. A map is essential but not all the alleys and streets are marked. Umbrella is a must if rain is forecast - Lu had two available!
Would we recommend - yes!
