Cristina’s place is in a nice quiet neighborhood with lots of good local shops and cafes. Everything was walkable- about 15 minutes to all of the main attractions and the train station. If you have a lot of luggage be aware you will have to walk over several bridges with steps to arrive, but you can also pay a porter to get over the larger bridges. We enjoyed the pizza at the nearby restaurant Frari- il Muro and having a coffee or aperitivo at the nearby bar Adagio. The size of the apartment was small but adequate for 3 people. It was nice to be able to take the little table outside in the evenings to enjoy a glass of wine near the canal. If you are an art lover the basilica of Santa Maria dei Frari (home of Titian’s masterpieces and grave) is just steps away.
