If you are looking for a spot away from all the busy tourist areas this is the place for you. There is a market a few minute walk away if you need anything while at the apartment. A 30 minute walk to St Mark square and the heart of Venice. There’s also some amazing local and less touristy restaurants just a few minutes away. I highly recommend taking Massimo’s boat ride tour he will give you some gorgeous notes of the history and architecture of Venice. He is an extremely nice host and wants you to have a fantastic time. The city of Venice itself is amazing there is a picturesque view around every corner. Enjoy yourself and get lost in the beauty.
