A quiet but well located neighbourhood, once you have worked out the routes to the nearest vaporetti stops (closeby in two directions) - only a few minutes walk but no routes in Venice are very direct! Away from the crowds but can walk to and from the station - 10 minutes once you get your orientation. Good cafes, bars and restaurants in several directions including some used more by locals than tourists.

Gianni met us there and showed us round, made clear arrangements for leaving. Very friendly, generous and helpful - no fuss.

Lovely ground floor apartment overlooking a canal with everything you could want - stylish but unfussy. Well thought-out privacy and security. Plenty of hanging space. Scrupulously clean and tidy - newly refurbished and kitted-out.
