My family (spouse and 2 teenage daughters) spent a wonderful 3 days at Linda's apartment. it was in a more quiet area of Venice (San Polo) which was far enough away from the throngs and throngs of tourists. Yet, we could get to the major tourist areas within 15 minutes walk. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and she gave some great suggestions for dinner/eats that were authentic and way cheaper than the areas around St. Marks, Rialto, etc. Also, there is a grocery store literally 30 seconds from the apartment.
The apartment was lovely and I spend most mornings and evenings enjoying the view from the balcony overlooking the canals.
I have been to Venice three times. I would only stay in this neighborhood if I came back again. Everything about the apartment and neighborhood was fantastic!
