Our accommodations were convenient, clean, and easy to find — which in Venice, can be a challenge! It was very convenient to the water taxi, to a grocery store, and most of the sights were easy to walk to, or use water bus in combo with walking. Our host met us personally and made us feel welcome. The apartment was clean and well appointed. The only issue for some visitors might be lugging baggage up flights of steps, but we didn’t have accessibility issues (for that matter, Venice as a whole isn’t exactly accessibility-accommodating!) There are a few really grand sights just around the corner, especially the Scuola Grande. The location isn’t in the high tourist areas of San Marco or Rialto, so we were there in May and didn’t feel like it was crowded.
