The studio is situated in a perfect area in the Ghetto. We travelled here at the beginning of carnivale (feb) on our honeymoon. Was getting busy so and we were happy to stay in this quieter residential area just minutes from all you could want to see in Venice. 1 minute walk and your on the main street of Venice and a selection of resturants and shops. Very easy 20-25 minute stroll going past main sights and shops on the way to the main square. Close 10 minutes walk to the train station and Ermanno met us at a bridge and showed us to studio. We had read about smell of canals but it didnt smell during our stay. Its a studio and therefore the bed is a folding lounge/sofa bed so isn't the most comfortable, but was great for a few nights stay. Has a kitchenette and shower room, all you really need. We throughly enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend it.
