Irene's apartment is a beautiful and comfortable space, with a large master bedroom, comfortable pull out couch, and well stocked kitchen. The neighborhood of Cannaregio is about 20 minutes away from San Marco by vaporetto (conveniently located nearby); and filled with locals enjoying "ordinary" life in Venice - kids playing, people shopping for groceries and at night the main drag is lined with people enjoying the osteria and cicchetti restaurants. It's a short walk from the train station and right in the middle of the Jewish Ghetto, a fascinating area to explore. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Irene and Dario!
