Like anywhere in Venice, very convenient to the city, but also extremely convenient to "local" coffee shops and restaurants. We could walk to St Marks square without difficulty , and find our way back. The water transport is available right next door. Andrea had booked taxis for us and they were on time and able to pull up right next to the apartment, very nice! Any questions that we may have had were answered by Andrea before we even asked them. He is a wonderful host. The apartment is spacious for two adults and makes you feel that you are really in Venice.
