Highly recommended both as a clean/warm/dry and well-appointed apartment but also as a very peaceful and beautiful neighbourhood in Venice with some of the best places to eat, as recommended by our hosts. Luna Sentada and Osteria Oliva Nera were both superb, very nearby, and had delicious vegetarian options and friendly service. We enjoyed walking the length and breadth of Venice, for which this was an ideal base in terms of location, and were always glad to return to the serenity of this part of Castello.
