The apartment is as advertised in a quieter end of town which is great to leave the mad tourist masses behind at the end of each day. It is fully self contained but is also close to numerous cafes and restaurants. One of the best parts is that it is 5 minutes walk to the water busses where you can catch the no 2 bus that will take you to the grand canal and anywhere else. We were totally happy with the apartment and would definitely stay again.
