The house is conveniently placed near to the Madonna dell'orto ferry stop from the airport and Andrea came to meet us, giving us some terrific suggestions for our time in Venice. Very clean, tidy and with lovely little courtyard as well. The house is quiet but is just a few metres away from a canal with many cafes, bars and restaurants (frequented by venetians as well as the inevitable fellow tourists) which were ideal for coffee, wine and cicchetti etc. About 15mins to the Rialto and 30mins to San Marco. A great place to stay.
