A clean small apartment in the heart of Venice- close to 2 water bus stations; close enough to the attractions but far enough away from San Marco Square and the throngs of tourists to be able to relax. We felt very safe and there were many restaurants just a few meters from the apt. Also a coop (supermarket) and a good vegetable and fruit stand. They may be going to fix this but at the moment, the entrance hall and stairway is in need of repair- crumbling wall and peeling paint and we could not find a light switch so had to use our phone light to open door. But once you are inside the apt it is exceptionally clean and in excellent condition. We recommend getting a ACTV Venezia Utica bus pass rather than the Allilaguna that the host recommended as it is less expensive, goes to more destinations and goes by much more frequently. We would recommend this as a nice clean small apt in the heart of Venice.
