If you want to stay a little bit away from the crowds in Venice, this is the place. From the bedroom you have a beautiful view of a square and the Frari Basilica (built in the Italian Gothic style). The walk to Rialto Bridge is 5-10 minutes and St. Mark’s square is 10-15 minutes. The apartment itself was very clean and our friendly and hospitable host met us on the first day and left us with very valuable information about cafes, grocery stores, and restaurants nearby. They also showed us where everything was in the apartment and how to use the amenities. Snacks and cold water were available when we arrived, which was a wonderful touch!
