The seclusion from the main tourist areas is a major highlight. It's about 25 minute walk to St Marks. But boat stop is only 5 minutes away. Kitchen is good for basic meals but not a lot of space for food prep. Grocery store is super close. Apartment is very clean and balcony was delight. Music system was a nice perk. The apartment has nice classic furniture. One minor annoyance: lack of body wash or soup for shower but towels are provided. Stay here if you visit Venice.
