This is a great place to stay in Venice if you want to be away from the crowds. It's much more of a local's neighborhood, and you'll be walking around amongst people who actually live there. It's fun each day to go in to the more touristy parts on the water bus, and this couldn't be more convenient (the closest stop is mere steps from the door). That said there are also nice restaurants within walking distance and a decent Coop supermarket over a few bridges. The flat was clean and easy to get in as the self-check-in directions were accurate. It was a good quiet place to sleep after being in throngs of people and there's a nice view across the canal from two of the bedrooms. Kitchen is clean and stocked with the basics, and there were clean linens and towels for everyone.
