For anyone wanting to experience life in a local neighbourhood on Venice, this is an ideal location close to the old ghetto. We were greeted by Luca’s father, who gave us lots of advice on the area and how to get about. A reasonably good supermarket is nearby (down a very narrow alley), and various canal side bars, restaurants and cafés are short stroll away.
The apartment suits a couple well; the bathroom is en suite, right next to the double bed, so would likely not suit friends travelling together and using the separate beds, unless they aren’t too bothered about privacy. The kitchen is well equipped for making meals, and the garden is perfect for alfresco dining on warmer days (our time in Venice, in late October, was cool and misty, so we didn’t get to do this). The washing machine is small, but perfect for those who pack light.
There is a nearby vaporetto stop for travel from and to the airport and railway station, although we found it easy enough to walk from the railway station and to Piazzale Roma for the cheaper bus to the airport. After all, Venice is very much a walking city, with or without baggage! Another vaporetto stop further over (about a ten-minute walk away) takes you to the cemetery island, Murano and Burano.
So, a good little apartment in a good neighbourhood. I’d certainly stay here again.
