This is a beautiful and well cared for apartment with a lovely view of the canal. The apartment is located in what feels like a low tourist area full of charming restaurants with a local feel (and good prices as opposed to the city center). It is excellent if you are looking to stay away from the crowds but it is also not a far distance from the main attractions. It is also a short walk from a vaporetto stop, which easily connects you to the train stations as well as to the islands of Murano and Burano. Just make sure to save the location of the apartment in your GPS or remember the route when you go out, as finding your way around the little alleys can be confusing. Thank you very much to Paolo, who picked us up at the vaporetto stop, helped us with our luggage and took the time to show us around his home and make us feel welcome.
