The apartment is ideally located, out of the main tourist "cattle runs" but still just a few minutes walk to Piazza San Marco, the Rialto Bridge, etc. About a 5 minute walk to the Ospedale vaporetto stop, and 3-4 to a Coop grocery store. Excellent bars and restaurants are close by - our favorite was Ai Do Archi. Andrea was a cordial host even though his wife had just given birth at the hospital! I call that above and beyond the call of duty. The terrace is fabulous! Would definitely stay again if I return to Venice.
