Nicola's apartment is in an excellent location--easy distance from water taxis but also very walkable. (We always walked.) If you love history, it's even better...look up Gesuiti Church to learn why. It's also a great value, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is best suited for guests who eat most meals out as it isn't really equipped for much cooking. That said, Nicola provided lots of helpful restaurant tips, and we would definitely stay there again if we revisit Venice.
