Andrea's place was in a great location near all the main walking paths with easy acces to train station and water buses to airport. You have to understand that Venice is an old historical city with no cars and lots of steps. This is one of the most interesting and beautiful cities in the world. So there are lots of visitors but there is still some areas and alley ways that are not busy. This location allows you to explore everything. This is a food and shopping paradise. Ciao Italy
