We enjoyed the location. It quiet, safe and secure. It is not near the tourist areas but it is easy to get to it by the airport water taxi ($15.00 each). Get off at the 1st stop (Guglie) to walk to the hotel to check-in. (This apartment is not owned by an individual but is one of several apartments owned by a hotel). It really helps to use your cell phone GPS to find the hotel and the apartment. We setup a international plan on our Verizon phone before leaving the US so that we would be able to do this. From the apartment it is an easy 5 minute walk to a good market for supplies. We ate breakfast and dinner in and bought lunch out while exploring. It is also 10 minute walk to the "St Alvise" vaporette (waterbus) stop that will take you around/thru the islands. You can purchase 1 day/3 day/7 day passes online. We used a actual taxi to return to the airport for $35 (take the waterbus to the Ferrovia or Plaza le Roma stop to get a taxi). We were please with this apartment EXCEPT for one major issue. The queen bed is a sofa-bed that is terrible for two people! We worked around it by using the twin bed for one of us and the sofa-bed for the other. I have suggested to management that they replace the bed so check before renting, if this important to you.
