We had a lovely stay in this spacious appartment. Marina was away the day we arrived but she arranged for a friend to meet us at the vaporretto station. The place is tucked away on a tiny little street so we were glad to have some help in finding it. We knew it was a 3rd floor walk-up, so we were prepared to carry our bags. It was worth the effort to be in such a charming old place in such an interesting and central neighborhood. We had some trouble with the dishwasher but Marina arranged very quickly to have someone come take a look. At our request, this was postponed until after our departure. Aside from that everything was fine. There are few small grocery stores and bakeries nearby so it was easy to pick up food for a relaxed breakfast "at home" before heading off on our excursions.
The location is excellent for sightseeing, including going to Murano and Burano since it is very close to the departure docks at Fondamente Nove. Many other sights and good restaurants are easy to reach on foot.
