Great apartment in a very nice location north of rialto. Loved having two bathrooms. Certainly not empty of tourists (is any place is venice?), but not as over-run feeling as San Marco. Venice is so easy on foot that it took us barely any time to get to main attractions from the apartment and it had everything we needed. Trash is tricky to navigate, so be vigilant. And it's about 4 flights from the street (fine for us) but maybe not for those less able-bodied.
