This place is great if you want out of the cramped part of central Venice. The apartment is about a 30 minute walk ( with kids) to St Mark’s square in Venice. If you prefer the waterbus there is a stop two minutes walking away. There is also a park nearby which our kids liked. However, the walls are thin. We could hear the neighbors upstairs all night and day. There are also no blinds in the bedroom. Overall this is a great place to stay and Giovanna made us feel very welcome.
