Cristiano's apartment is amazing. Its in a perfect location with local cafes, bars and restaraunts busy with locals (always a good sign). The clean and spacious apartment is only a 10/15 minute walk from st marks and right next to Arsenale so situated perfectly to explore the sights. I walked the whole of venice while i was there and the street that Cristiano's place is located was my favourite street of them all, totally charming. I would highly recommend it and look forward to returning soon.
