Great apartment right on one of the minor canals and a five minute stroll to the grand canal. Marino was a wonderful host who met us at the Orto dock and led us to the nearby apartment. It has everything you would need including coffee maker, stove, microwave and air conditioning. There is a bakery and grocery store 50 meters away. You can walk to/from the train station in 10 minutes over 3 small bridges. Do keep the windows closed most of the time to keep the mosquitos out. Bring some bug wipes to fend them off at night. Terrific time!!
