Our group of 5 had a terrific visit to Venice, thanks in part to Francesca's well-located, spacious apartment. There are several supermarkets nearby if you want to pick items to eat-in, as well as numerous casual cafes for a morning Americano and croissant.
The apartment is within minutes of just about anything via either the windy, labyrinth streets and bridges of Venice or the water bus.
And that view of the Grand Canal from the master bedroom and living room!
