The apartment is bigger than it seems in the pictures. It was really clean and tidy when we arrived. The area is really perfect. It's close walking distance to the main centres in Venice, and is also a couple of minutes walk from a boat stop that will take you back to the train station when you leave. It seems to be in the arty District of Venice because there are a lot of art stores nearby with original artwork by really talent artists. Overall the shops near the apartment were much nicer than the touristy tacky shops that you'll find in the city centre. Definitely good value
