This is a perfect location for Venice. It's close enough to everything but in its own little neighborhood so you can experience a little of the real thing and escape the madding crowds of tourists. The neighborhood has its own fish and vegetable markets, a great cheese and salami store, pharmacy, grocery, bars, bakery & restaurant. The apartment is cute and artistically decorated with everything you might need. It is housed in a historical building where the artist Tiepolo was born. Alberto is very responsive and helpful. We had a wonderful stay.
