From my Venice staying quarters observations, the only one thing that matters is location. I can truthfully say, that this particular apartment is located in the heart of Venice. Just 20 minutes from Santa Lucia train station, 5 minutes from #1 vaporetto bus, surrounded by lots of restaurants, gellaterias and any kind of imaginable shops and markets. Rialto Mercato fish market is just a minutes away and apartment fully equipped for cooking. So, if you are in a catch of a day plate mood, feel free to take a short stroll to fish market get yourself freshly caught seafood that still moves (mind you, tastes like nothing you ever tried), cook it for the perfect breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc... Or not, just take a two bridge short walk into Venice foody mecca and stop by at any osteria/ trattoria, order anyn of the seafood of the menu I can guaranty you that you won't be disappointed. Lucia will provide you with any local tips, that you will never get from trip adviser or tour guide. and most of all, don't be afraid to get yourself lost in many Venice streets, piazzas and bridges,- its always easy to find your way back to apartment. The apartment itself is cozy, well equipped for comfortable short or long stay to enjoy Venice even more.
