The perfect spot to experience Venice as a local- several tourists even asked us for directions as we were coming out of the apartment. Located on a quiet path right behind all of the action, Frederica's place is the perfect place to enjoy Venice without breaking the bank. She was a great host and showed us how to get around and where to go so we wouldn't be overcharged. I highly recommend this location. A five minute walk from the water bus station & San Marco and about 10-15 minutes away from Rialto Bridge (which is swarmed w tourists). The apartment was a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle.
