We have stayed in Venice twice before, closer to the Rialto. This is the best location with a local piazza nearby with restaurants, bars, bakery, small supermarket where locals and tourists enjoying the area, yet it is walkable to everything, including the station, Piazzale Roma and a vaporetto stop. Then you have a beautiful apartment, with windows onto a canal, decorated to the highest standard and with all you need. To top it all off, you are met at the station, accompanied to the apartment, shown around the neighbourhood and treated to a coffee by Paolo or one of the family. Don't look further, book it!
