Great place to stay in Venice -- everything is accessible from here, but the area itself is quiet and outside the tourist crowds. Close to the S. Alvise water bus stop and to the Jewish Ghetto; very close to supermarket, some nice places to eat and drink, as well as a supermarket and bakery. The patio is wonderful, the kitchen is small but highly functional, and the AC was a nice bonus in the hot weather. Would recommend and would stay again.
