This place is right in the trendy part of Venice, which is known for being a "local" area for Venetians and not on the tourist radar. The host provided some excellent recommendations for bars & restaurants (so good all of them were packed out and we couldn't get in!) and was always on hand if we needed.
Two things specifically which make this apartments location particularly good:
1. The ferry stop "Guglie" is 100m from the front door. This makes all of Venice accessible, but this stop also connects you to VCE airport.....making arrival and departure super easy (dragging luggage around Venice isn't much fun)
2. Another 100m from the front door is a wine shop, where a local guy sells local wine by the litre at EUR 2.20 into plastic or glass bottles. Total bargain and he is clearly sipping the product all day while waiting for customers. Hilarious
