You couldn't ask for a better location from which to explore Venice - 3 minutes' walk from Rialto, 3 minutes' walk from St Mark's square and right on a cool shopping/eating street. We managed to see and do a lot in only 2 days. Romy met us from the water bus and settled us in nicely. He also gave us a discount in his restaurant! The apartment was clean and beautifully decorated and is in a 16th century Venetian building. We'll be back. Richard
