Fantastic residential location, but only a short walk to the tourist spots. There is a small bar around the corner that has three generations working there and is very cheap, especially compared to the rest of pricey Venice! Massimo was a lovely host and so happy to help with any sightseeing plans. The apartment was right on a canal, very big, and very clean! The one drawback was that I was attacked by mosquitoes in the apartment... I had about fifteen bites, five of which were on my face. Massimo was quick to try to remedy the situation, but I continued to get bit. This really has nothing to do with the apartment and everything to do with Venice. (All of that stagnant water!) So just be prepared with bug spray and itch creams!
