Great location in the heart of Venice. Easy to walk to most areas of the city or to the water bus stop at St Mark's. For a water taxi, it's a short walk from the Canal at Hotel Torino for easy transfer from the train station or the airport. Nearby Hotel Flora is great and can help with arranging water taxis if needed. Would definitely recommend. Just note that the apartment is two floors up from the entrance but the balcony makes the walk worth it!
