The apartment was amazing, really spacious and cozy. We we're greeted by a wonderful girl who showed us around the house and gave us a map of Venice with information about places to see and how to get there. She was really thorough and helped us a lot. Close to the apartment is a bus stop that takes you to Venice in around 10 minutes. Nearby are three supermarkets and small restaurants/bars/coffee houses so you won't have a hard time finding something to eat. The neighborhood is really quiet and cozy and much cheaper than staying on the island itself. When we come back to Venice we will definitely stay here again.
