We had a very pleasant stay in this spacious apartment, although I would not recommend it for visitors with mobility problems or small children. It is situated in a very quiet residential neighbourhood in the heart of Castello, with some shops (bakery, hardware, small supermarket) and a couple of local bars/cafes within a minute or two's walk. I advise exploring in a few different directions just to get your bearings after you first arrive, as all the narrow alleyways and little bridges can be confusing! However, it is only about fifteen minutes walk to St Mark's Square, and the Celestia and Arsenale vaporetto stops are quite close by. We took a water taxi (as it was a special occasion!) to the Campo Santa Ternita, where we were met by Sebastiano's 'representative'; however, on the way back we were asked to go to the Celestia stop (5 minutes) as it was more convenient for the taxi.. There is a small restaurant right next door to the apartment, with quite cheap and well-cooked food. The apartment has everything you need, and the beds were comfortable, although they are only camp beds in the loft space (which is very low!) We went to the Venice Jazz Club (20 Euros including first drink), which was fantastic. Sebastiano responded promptly to queries. I would stay here again.
