This apartment has everything you need for a great stay in Venice. Slightly away from the hectic San Marco area, the street becomes quiet in the evenings. There is a wonderful cafe just three steps from the front door where we had cappuccinos and pastries most mornings and a couple small grocery stores nearby. Just around a few corners are a couple very good restaurants as well.
Our focus in Venice was attending the Biennale Arte and this apartment was perfectly situated for an easy walk to the Arsenale and Giardini exhibition spaces. It was also easy to get to all of the other sites we were interested in.
As for our hosts, Stefano and his daughter were incredibly welcoming and responsive to questions posted during our stay, and they each offered great recommendations for food.
I would stay here again anytime.
One caveat that may be important for some: No handrail in the stairwell and the stairs are slick tile. We had no issues with this, however.
