We loved the location of this apartment in a very quiet residential area, but just 5 minutes walk from the restaurants and bars of garibaldi and the vaporetto stop. St marks sq is only a 15/20 minute stroll. The lido was just 10 mins away by vaporetto. The apartment itself has very very recently been renovated and lifted out so is very clean, modern and well equipped. Venice is not huge so if you want to escape the hordes, this is a great place to stay!
