The position is perfect for us, it is in the North West area near the Strada Nova, near Ca’ d’ Oro boat stop on the Grand canal. We liked the area because it seemed that it was used by lots of locals and much less crowded than the area near San Marco sqare Which was about a 15 minute walk away.
The apartment is next to the canal on a quiet lane. You go through an entrance hall a small open communal yard another communal entrance and up one flight of stairs. Then into a shared entrance with two apartments. When you enter the apartment showroom to the left is new and clean.. There is a room divided by a very sturdy partition with two single beds a TV and a window on the side you enter. There is a large set of drawers but they are locked. The furniture is all dark wood and old which gives a homeless. It made me think of how the local people live and added to the experience. The room on the other side of the partisan had a double bed settee, that was quite big. We folded that into a settee. It has an IKEA cupboard with a two ring electric hob , sink and kitchen equipment. That was great because you close the doors and it is all hidden. There are two llarge windows that let In a stream of light. It was so relaxing to come back Mid afternoon for an hour to relax and read with the windows open and sun shining in. The apartment is very quiet and relaxing. We stayed for 5 nights, we were out most of the time and so just used the apartment as a base. We enjoyed it. It was good value for money for Venice. It is like staying in your Grandmother’s apartment so if you like homely traditional you will like it.
