The apartment was only three minutes walk from the Ospedale vaporetto stop. Mario met us at the stop, showed us over the apartment with careful advice and guidance and linked our phones to the reliable internet access.
The wash of passing water taxis laps against the apartment's walls and the whole situation feels about as genuine as Venice gets these days, well away from the overcrowded areas ruined by us tourists! There is a selection of local food shops and, right on the lagoon, a short walk away, a good sized Coop. The alleyways are labyrithian, so getting 'home' at night from distant parts of the city requires a degree of concentration and a good map or navigation app.
We fully recommend this apartment as a fairly basic but attractive place to stay. It is reasonably priced by Venetian standards with a great outlook directly onto a canal. The airport waterbus will deposit you within three minutes walk of it. Perfect.
