7 Windows is an exceptional place to stay! It is located in the quiet residential area of Canareggio. It has wonderful views of the Rio Trapolin and overlooks the piazza of the Chiesa di San Marziale. There are several restaurants within a 2 minute walk, including Diana's, Misericordia, Tintoretto, and several others. There is also a small grocery store (Coop) on the Strada Nova where you can buy fresh fruit and veggies, fresh bread, wine, cheese, meats, etc. It is also located 2 minute's walk from 7 Windows. Strada Nova has dozens of cafes, gelaterias, restaurants, shops, and vendor carts. It is also the way to reach the Rialto Bridge (15 minute walk) and St. Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace, and the Museo Correr. 7 Windows features two bedrooms, one with a comfortable double bed and small lavatory. The other room has two single bunk beds. There is also a second lavatory with a shower. The living room has a really cool old table by the window where you can sit and eat and look out at the Rio Trapolin. There is also a small, but functional kitchen. There is no wifi, and mobile / LTE coverage is spotty and comparatively slow in Venice. To reach 7 Windows from the airport, take the orange Line on the Alilaguna boat to the Madonna dell'Orto stop (first stop after the airport) and walk about 8 minutes to 7 Windows. Plan to wait up to an hour to get on the boat. To return to the airport, avoid trying to catch the orange line back to the airport as the Madonna dell'Orto stop is the last stop on the orange line before heading back to the airport and the boat is almost certain to be full when it stops at Madonna dell'Orto. Instead, walk (about 10 minutes) from 7 Windows to the Fondamenta Nove and catch the Alilaguna boat from the "A" dock to the airport. This is a larger boat than the orange line and only goes between the Fondamenta Nove and the airport. Plan 45 minutes for the boat trip, and at least anothe 90 minutes to 2 hours to get through security at Marco Polo airport. Be sure to use mobile boarding passes and avoid having to check in using one of the kiosks at all costs because the lines are extremely long. For coffee, check out caffe Solda on the Strada Nova at the Campo S. S. Apostoli, about 6 minutes from the apartment. For dinner, try Diana's or Tintoretto. For a budget 3 course "tourist" menu, try Tratroria da Giorgio on the Rio del Greci across from the Chiesa di San Giorgio del Greci, about 20 minutes walk from 7 Windows. You will pass through several residential areas off the tourist path to get there. 7 Windows is a great place if you want to experience a real Venetian neighborhood away from the tourist crowds, yet close to all of the main sites, dozens of restaurants, cafes, and...
