Wonderful neighborhood, about as "off the beaten track" as we could hope for in Venice. Despite the more touristy cafes minutes from the apartment, all it took was crossing a bridge or two to lose the crowds, and be immersed in charming pockets with character and locals going about their normal lives.
We appreciated the ability to safely leave our luggage downstairs, and walk up with only what we needed for our short stay. Very close to public transport, easy access to the train station (for trips elsewhere in Italy), and super convenient all round. Recommended!
