The apartment is a good size and has very traditional furnishings. It was clean with all necessary kitchen equipment, plus a tv in the bedroom and a sweet balcony.
In terms of arriving, it's equidistant from both Arsenale and San Giardini waterbus stops.
The surrounding area is scenic and quiet, with a fish and fruit/veg market most days. The restaurants nearby are quite touristy but there are also a few gems. There's not much nightlife though and it does get quiet earlyish.
