This is a great apartment in a great location. Not in tourist area but a short walk takes you to the main sites. Also, its a short walk to the water taxi to take you just about any where in Venice and the airport. There are some great local restaurants located near by. I recommend Il Timon...great steakhouse just a 5 minute walk.
Between the directions supplied by the host and google maps it was easy to get to the apartment from the train station.
The apartment is on the 5th floor...all stairs. We were able to get our large suitcases up and down the stairs no problems. Washer and dryer were a nice convenience as well. I would highly recommend this apartment for your visit to Venice.
