We couldn't have found a more perfect location for the money. A few minutes' beautiful walk along the Grand Canal to St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace, just round the corner from the Arsenale, with a water bus stop right outside and just a few bridges between you and some amazing canalside restaurants - but the location also feels away from the touristy hustle and bustle, so a much quieter and more relaxed vibe. The flat is small but beautiful, and doesn't have canal views but is the perfect place to bounce from. We would definitely stay here again to see more of the beautiful city.
