This apartment worked out great for us. It's a short walk to the train station and easy to get to the Grand Canal - a few minutes walk. There is a local grocery store nearby as well as all the shops on the Grand Canal buy the train station. The location is very, very quiet and feels safe. AC was welcomed but upstairs only. The place is appointed well and fits the old-school decor of the place and of Venice in general. Bathrooms are sufficiently updated and nice. We had six people and it fit us fine. A solid recommendation.
