Perfect place to stay in Venice if you'd rather not be in the midst of the tourist hordes. Cannaregio is a wonderful neighbourhood with lots of restaurants, the Jewish Ghetto, and the most amazing grocery store around the corner from the apartment: Teatro Italia. Go inside and you'll see it was once a beautiful theatre, tastefully turned into a full-service grocery. Andrea, as other guests have mentioned, met us at the train station and navigated us to the flat. While it felt confusing at first, we quickly realized we were on the "main street" and it all made sense as soon as we went out to go exploring. The flat is quite large and relatively quiet. Andrea provided us with maps and suggestions for places to eat. We also gave him some suggestions: for vegetarian guests, or for anyone wanting something different: we really recommend the Kosher Gam Gam in the Ghetto. Great food that is both Italian but also with Israeli/Middle East offerings. Reservations recommended, especially if you want to be by the canal. Andrea and his family have been renting this apartment for many years, so they know what they are doing. Highly recommended! You want a nice, quiet, homey place after a full day of Venetian exploring. And everything is only minutes away.
