Apartment is in a great location and an easy walk to most places. Water taxi is close by also. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, supermarket nearby. Rialto bridge is close by. For €20 you can buy a water taxi voucher which last 24 hours. Apartment was very clean and easy to find. I would suggest if you have large suitcases to get a water taxi as there are about 5 bridges to cross from the train/bus station but official porters are close who for some euros will transport your luggage. We didn't use the kitchen facilities much as we ate out. I would highly recommend Pizzeria Trattoria alle Lanternine which is close by. The food was the best we had in Venice. Some of the best bakeries are found close to this apartment. Alberto is very communicating and very helpful.
