The apartment is a nice area where it is not too touristy, but close enough that you can walk everywhere. It is a nice apartment and pretty clean. The address listed didn't come up on the map when we were trying to find our way back home but Guia gave us a different address to try which worked. We had to stay at a hotel for the last few days of our trip because our flight got delayed and I actually preferred staying off the main island to staying in Venice, but that's just a personal preference.
