Great convenient place. First stop from airport when you come by boat shuttle (Alilaguna). Cannaregio is very low key. Great little restaurants. If you want to cook yourself, the Spar supermarket (5mn walk) in Teatro Italia is the most amazing setting. Great products there. From Andrea’s apartment you can walk to St Mark’s square in about 20 minutes or take the boat (ACTV) .
After a long day out it’s nice to be able to enjoy a nice shower or soak into a bath. Then in your very large bedroom you can watch a Netflix movie (Good WiFi) about Venice in a comfy bed.
