Oscar’s place is fantastic for anyone looking to visit Venice and stay away from the congestion. The apartment itself is lovey (the photos do it justice), it has air conditioning (a first for my stay in Europe!) and it’s far enough away from St. Marks and the water to be quiet, but close enough to walk absolutely anywhere on the island. Oscar was a great host and even met me at the Vaporetto stop as I got off the boat. Highly recommend!
