This is the perfect place to be in Venice! It is just outside of the tourist areas so at night is lovely and quiet. In the morning, you hear the sounds of the locals as the kids go to school and Venice starts to wake up. The beauty of Edoardo's place is that you can sit and watch Venice throughout the day from the living area and at night enjoy the quiet that a city with no cars provides.
Edoardo's is just off the tourist areas so everything is easy to get to. Near the apartment are great food, groceries, and bakeries. We didn't want for anything. At the same time, you can get to Rialto and St. Marks quickly. It really is a great location.
Most importantly, Edoardo is a true Venetian and a wealth of local knowledge. He will give you a great overview of Venice and hints on some of the local favorites. He is also super quick to respond to texts and anticipates your needs.
