Super location for starting your adventure.Great local coffee shops and restaurants.Easy to maneuver once you became familiar with the area.20 to 25 minutes walk to St Marks Basilica and Grande Canal waterfront,etc.Easy to get from train station.If you're tall like me,be careful of slanted ceiling in extra room and ultra small bathroom.If you have any medical issues(we don't) and have problems going up and down stairs,as this apt is on 3rd floor,be prepared.Comfortable bed, good size shower with great hot water. Slept very well.Loved it!,Chris
