This is a beautiful, clean and spacious apartment in an area of Venice (San Polo) which is pleasantly off the beaten track but is still close enough to the busier, more obvious tourist destinations. The staff are helpful and informative without being intrusive.
In the evenings, it is close to the San Polo market area, which has lots of good bars and restaurants, many of them overlooking the Grand Canal.
We went for 4 days and that is a good length of stay, it allows you to see the major sites without the hassle of feeling you have to fill every minute. Staying in the city means that once all of the day trippers leave, you have a much quieter and more pleasant Venice to explore in the evening.
