Really enjoyed the neighborhood as Clara's Place is close to groceries and open plaza with clothing stores and restaurants. As it is the Christmas season, the plaza had an ice skating rink and beautiful lights. My family loved it. The #2 bus is practically out front, so all you need to do cross the street, buy a Venice Transportation pass for $15 a day, and you will be enjoying the canals of Venice within 30 minutes, as the #2 bus stops there. Recommend taking a boat to the Saint Marks Cathedral, and then enjoy walking the streets back to the bus station. Adelina is a very kind and generous host. We would definitely stay here again.
