First time to Venice and the location was great. I like to stay close to train station to make getting to apartment easy. The location is very close and just far enough off of the main streets that it is very quiet. We were able to walk everywhere, of course getting lost each time. But it is easy to get back on track. The build ing is quiet and there are plenty of shops very close. I would recommend very highly and would look to stay here next time in Venice.
