Guie's place is very nice if you want a local stay in Venice. The apartment is well equipped and there is a coop supermarket nearby. There's a very nice gelateria at Campo Santi Apostoli. The walk to boat stop, Ca Oro or Fonta Nove is about 10 minutes; with the luggages and the bridges, it could be tricky. However, I had a great stay and Guie is very helpful.
