Loved that Ombra's place was away from the tourist areas and in a quiet neighborhood. The bakery downstairs was convenient and the restaurant that's mentioned in other reviews was so great we went twice. There's a supermarket within walking distance. Ombra wasn't available, but her friend Sabrina met us at the vaporetto stop and showed us the way. Keep in mind that there are several flights of stairs to get up to Ombra's place, but once you're there it's comfortable and looks just like it does in the photos!
