This is a beautiful, charming apartment, tucked away so it’s quiet and private, yet less than 5 minute walk to cafe for coffee and fresh pastries, a market, and THE best restaurant we’ve experienced in Venice - l’osteria di Santa Marina. I used it to find our way back to apartment as it was easier to pin than apt address. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation in advance. The best gelato — also nearby — SoSu — always a line 10+ deep. Worth the wait. The host arranged for someone to meet us from water taxi and take us to apartment. He also showed us around the neighborhood! They were GREAT communicators - very responsive. We had a late flight, so we stored our bags for 4 hrs at the hotel across from the S. Marina restaurant— they were SO gracious about it. You can also store bags in lockers located a couple places around city. Find a location: www.storeyourbags.com.
