Lovely location, quiet and tucked away, but at the same time close enough to the action. From the windows you can see scenes of everyday Venetian life: skillful boat drivers negotiating the canals with large barges, bin "lorries" (boats of course) going about their business, etc. My little one loved it!
There's a coop minimarket nearby with all the basics. Bar Puppa is great value. There's a deli shop with amazing foodstuffs (ham, salami, cheese, olives, and a lot more). Not cheap but very good. There's also a wine shop nearby where you bring an empty bottle and they will fill it up with lovely and unbelievably cheap local wine. The nearest vaporetto station (fondamente nove) is a short walk away.
The flat itself is lovely with enough space for three. It boasts a full kitchen (with oven and everything) and all the basics: olive oil, salt, coffee, etc. so you can cook at home if you wish. Paola met us in Campo S. Apostoli and walked us there.
All in all, a memorable experience. We'll be back as soon as possible!
