TERRIFIC location on island across from the Venice tourist area. It was a quick walk to a vaporetto or across the bridge from the Accademia to the tourist area. We loved our neighborhood of Italian families and a few tourists. The apartment is in a 6th century home facing a campo. Only drawbacks were no WiFi (but available at all restaurants in the neighborhood) and no real sitting area other than the kitchen. But who sits in Venice? Maurizia and Gaetano were perfect hosts.
