The place has all the conveniences nearby...ACTV stop, floating green grocer by the canal, grocery, osterias, museums, artisan shops, gelaterias..all walking distance. Despite all the activity in the area, it is quiet and peaceful unlike the crowds at San Marco. The apartment has beautiful rooftop views of Venice and the ambiance of the place is relaxing after sightseeing all day. We highly recommend Lilia's place.
