The flat is located in the very convenient district of Cannaregio. You get easy access to good restaurants and shops, this area is lively but not submerged by tourists and within walking distance to San Marco and all the other activities.
The traditional style of the decoration and furnitures creates a enjoyable "venitian' atmosphere, but keep in mind that the those old building can be a bit noisy from the other floors.
Overall we had a great stay and I would recommend this place to my family and friends.
