A great base from which to explore Venice. It is an easy walk from the station, which was important for us as we were traveling around for a month, so had lots of big, heavy bags. Some good restaurants jut around the corner. Very easy to explore the rest of Venice from the apartment, either by foot, as we did, or Fabrice has good contacts if you prefer a gondola. One thing to note - the stairs to the apartment are quite narrow and steep, which was a bit of a challenge but only because of the amount of luggage we had (which was probably exceptional). But otherwise, an enjoyable stay and Fabrice is an excellent host.
