Great apartment in a great location. Having been to Venice a number of times I opted to stay out of the major tourist areas this time and I am so glad we did. It brought a total new perspective to this wonderful city. Firstly the Cannaregio location is an easy walk from the train station for getting in and out of Venice. The Guglie ferry stop is a stones throw away and S. Marcuola a 5 minute walk which gives you all the different options to travel everywhere you would want by water. Walking is also an easy and time well spent option with Piazza San Marco only 20 minutes away. The apartment itself was delightful, modern and well decked out but the best thing about it was it’s location out of the crowded main tourist areas and the chance to experience the laid back authentic part of Venice. Once back past the Ponte dell Guglie the crowds dwindle, the shops selling over priced trinkets disappear and you are left with a quiet little oasis near the historic Jewish Ghetto surrounded by quality eating establishments. Some of the best food we’ve had in Italy. Alessandro was a pleasure to deal with and made a special effort to make sure we had a quality visit which we certainly did. Do yourself a favour and go.
