Away from the bustling crowds of San Marco and Rialto but definitely walkable to all sites. Lovely patio on the canal off the kitchen. We took the Alilaguna to the airport which was so much better than the bus to water bus we used on arrival. Just be warned — the Alilaguna holds a limited number of passengers and bags to the airport and you may have to wait as a few boats go by and pick up maybe 2 passengers at a time. The M. Orto stop is walkable from the apartment with luggage but it is the last stop before the airport so we would advise to get to the stop early!
