Great location for exploring Venice. Many restaurants close by and a Coop/grocery store close by. Rialto bridge is close by and I highly recommend going before 9am before the crowds. The apartment is 4 flights up and no elevator. This worked fine for us but I don’t recommend if you have trouble with stairs. I recommend buying a multi day waterbus pass if you will be there for several days, easy to hop on and off. We chose to take a taxi from the Venice airport for a family of four which cost 40 euros. I also recommend having euros ahead of your stay because you will need to pay a tourist tax in cash at check in. We were met by Nicole at the waterbus stop and she took us to the apartment. Nicole was very friendly and we were thankful for her guidance to the apartment.
