We stayed here for 3 nights and are familiar with the neighbourhood. It was a PERFECT little apartment in a great location, mainly away from the crowds! Marcella was great with communication and told us which vaporetto to take from the train station; she met us and showed us the apartment - very easy process! The apartment itself is very spacious, great to be able to cook your own meals and there is a little supermarket just down the road which has all your necessities. There are some great little bars around the corner which are inexpensive compared to getting food and drinks anywhere near San Marco. The bed was comfortable although very creaky as the mattress sits on a wooden mount. Very quiet neighbourhood and overall an excellent stay! Definitely recommend this place!!
