Great location! Nice apartment; lovely views in a peaceful, quiet area, away from the crowds. Surprised and delighted by the local area; conveniently situated - great facilities nearby within 3 minutes walk e.g. Co-op supermarket, Rizzi bakery, on Strada Nova. Also, lively wine bars, cafes, restaurants close by along Fondamenta Misericordia. The area is very safe and quiet, away from the busy, tourist crowds (a BIG plus for us!) yet within a easy walking distance of all the famous sights. We were met by Simone at the Madonna Del Orto boat stop. He was very helpful, spoke good english and took us to the apartment (15 minutes walk). Simone pointed out a few defects in the flat, including not to use the oven (it fuses all the electrics!) and not to use the toilet in the small bathroom (as it gets blocked!) We also had to pay Simone 30 Euros in cash, which was the Venice Tourist Tax (3 Euros per person per night!) Apart from this (and the fact that the Wifi does not work!) we found the place was very comfortable, well equipped and (for two people) it is spacious. The views over the peaceful canal and the quiet little square of Campo Marziale, gave us a fascinating insight into local life in a lived-in area, and a relaxing opportunity for people-watching. We had a great stay at 7 Windows. Thank you Elde!
