I love Venice and visit every two years for the Architecture Biennale. I like staying in Castello and Cannaregio because I do not want to be in the heavy tourist traffic areas. This apartment was perfect! Less than ten minutes to the Arsenale, five to Santa Maria Formosa, less than 10 to San Marco (if you know where you are going:), etc. The apartment itself had an amazing master suit with a crib (if you need one), a desk (I always need one) and a lovely amount of space just to move around. From the bedroom window you can see the top of an early Palladio facade (if your interested), from the kitchen you can see the Cemetery San Michele. The kitchen table could be occupied for hours without ever needing to leave. This is a simple, well designed, nicely appointed apartment. Lovely.
