The location for us was great, as per instructions, caught the 4.2 vaporetto we got off in Arsenale stop, crossed 2 bridges and once in Via Garibaldi found the post office and was straight forward. It is our 2nd time in Venice, our recommendation is that you read about the transport system in Venice to make sure you get your bearings right. In the area, there are plenty of places were we bought pasta, lovely fresh veggies, bread, chicken. There are lots of coffee places. My mom got a cold but there are two drug stores at walking distance, brilliant. The cafes downstairs can get a bit noisy at night but you will be so tired after walking in Venice that you will fall asleep soon, bring ear plugs if you are too sensitive to noise. The place is near to Sn Marco's square just 1 stop in Vaporetto. The flat was clean, just as per the pictures, it is on the 2nd floor, with a very nice view. If you enjoy going to markets, cooking with local produce, close but at a healthy distance from touristic areas, this the place for you.
