We had a an absolutely perfect weekend at Sandra's apartment. The location is perfect. The area is quiet, away from the crowds and has lots of restaurants and cafes close by. However, you're only about 15 minutes walk to San Marco and the sites when you want to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed eating breakfast over looking the canal each morning. There is a supermarket nearby and the apartment is conveniently located 5 minutes walk from a vaporetto stop. Thanks, Sandra!
