We loved the apartment. It was down a tiny side street so it was quiet. But once you walk on to the Main Street there are shops and restaurants everywhere. It wasn’t nearly as crowded as Rialto so we liked that. The vaporetto was about a 5 minute walk.
We read reviews that said when you come into the train station have one person get the key while everyone else waits at the train station. We didn’t listen because we thought that the place to get the key was so close! But, you go over a huge bridge with all your bags to get the key and then over several smaller bridges when you go the route given after. But, if you go to the apartment straight from the train station you only go over two manageable bridges. Wished we had listened!
