This is a lovely apartment that is away from the tourist crowds, but easily within walking distance to St. Marks and Rialto, or if you don't want to walk, it's only a few minutes away from the vaporetto stop. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, and a great location for exploring. Our ViewsOnVenice host met us when we arrived, and provided great recommendations for restaurants and the best ways to get around. The home was a perfect size for my husband and I and our two adult children, and having a washer and dryer was really helpful (note that they are upstairs though, and located in such a way that you should be physically fit in order to use them...no problem for us, but thought I'd mention it). You have views of the canals from a couple windows as well. Very charming atmosphere, we loved it!
