Irene's apartment was lovely with beautiful open water views. The space was extremely clean, uncluttered and nicely appointed.
It was very helpful to have the water taxi directly at the front door but we walked most everywhere as that's the best way to see Venice!
The neighborhood is very quiet but you can walk easily or take the water bus to more populated areas. We were with our 7 year old son and never had a problem getting around!
I definitely recommend!
