We have visited Venice many times and always look for an apartment located in this area of Castello. It's close enough to all the highlights of Venice you want to experience but also it's own distinct neighborhood - grocery stores, bars, restaurants and hardware store! We stayed for over a month at Federica and Alberto's two bedroom/2 full bath apartment. The steps to the 1st floor (above the ground floor) were easy to manage and we rarely noticed other tenants or guests coming and going. The main bedroom on the "front" is large and bright with some foot traffic noise on the calle but not disruptive. If you prefer quieter and darker when you sleep the "back" bedroom is perfect - especially for napping! We rarely used the air conditioning when we arrived in early May but by late June it was very warm and we used it every day. We were also working remotely and were able to set up on the high top table in the kitchen. The WiFi never failed us and having the washer/dryer combo unit was a must for the extended stay. Alberto and Federica are delightful hosts and we plan to return to their larger apartment with the entire family.
