The apartment is in a quiet part of Venice, but it is near a lot of night life and restaurants. It is rented out by Venice Apartments and it doesn't seem like anyone actually lives there on a regular basis. It is relatively close to a water bus stop, making the rest of the city very accessible. However, the closest grocery store was about a 10 minute walk, so stocking up on supplies is a bit harder. The hosts at Venice Apartments were nice and provided a place for us to store luggage at their office near Ca'D'Oso.
