If you are fit enough to climb four floors this apartment is in an ideal location. It's only 3 minutes walk from Arsenale line 1 vaporetto stop, 5 minutes to Via Garibaldi with its shops, the park and fruit & vegetable barge on Saturday, and10 minutes walk along the riva to piazza San Marco past the ultra-expensive Hotel Danieli. The neighbourhood is quiet and authentic, the apartment charming, comfortable and well-appointed. We arrived during a summer heat wave and appreciated the chilled prosecco and the evaporative cooler in the bedroom.
