Arianna's place is inside an apartment located in a nice quarter of the town away from the touristy hustle and bustle. The calmness of the place, the way residents go about their daily chores, the placid canals opening up to a large lagoon, and the overall seclusion that this place enjoys, adds to the charm of this place. For those who are seeking a place which is not very touristy but located relatively close to the railway station, close to nice eateries and few mins walk from the Guglie water taxi stop, this is a nice choice. We actually walked from the railway station to Arianna's place with our luggage and would admit it was not tiring. Even the main bridge along the route had a ramp to draw up your luggage with relative ease. This place is purely residential has wide by lanes, pastel colored houses and very close to the Jewish Ghetto (a nice place to explore).
A little walk away from this place and you come to a busy part of Venice with restaurants, tourist souvenir shops and you are close to the Canal Grande. 15-20 mins walk and you reach all thing touristy - Rialto, St. Mark's square and Gondola rides.
Room is cozy (at least the one we stayed in) and has a common kitchen where you can make your morning/evening tea//coffee only.
