This is a very special place, with local flavor and easy access to the more tourist areas. We were so grateful to be in this neighborhood, especially after spending time in the more tourist spots of Venice. It is quiet and also very walkable to wonderful markets, restaurants, and nightlife. The Jewish Ghetto is a 5 minute walk and is worth taking the 45 minute tour of the synagogues which is rich with history. The only complaint is we couldn't stay longer!
