Cosy apartment in a less touristy part of the city but still very close to Santa Lucia railway station - you can walk there in few minutes. You can very easily go anywhere in the venetian laguna - just outside the house there is a vaporetto stop. The flat is in an old building, you can definitely feel the atmosphere of the city. Many great restaurants and cafes nearby, and in the morning you have a fish market. I have visited Venice before and staying in Paolo's house has given me many new impressions of the city. Grazie !
