Sofia's apartment was wonderful, not in the wild tourist center but within easy walking distances of the major sites. In a quiet residential part of Venice. There are plenty of restaurants within a few block radius and importantly, for us, less than 10 minutes from the M. Del'Orto wharf for a boat bus to the airport (15€). The apartment is very well decorated and was comfortable. Sofia provided fresh fruit and some goodies as well. We would stay there again.
