The apartment is located in a great, quiet area away from the center, but not at all far - right next to a vaporetto station and everything is walking distance. There is a grocery store close by and various cafes and restaurants to enjoy. The apartment itself was great - comfortable, newly renovated, nicely decorated and convenient for making your own meals, and warm/cozy! Since we cooked a lot, we appreciated the fact that there was oil, coffee and various kitchen utensils available in the apartment. The host Federico was very welcoming, responsive, and open to suggest spots around Venice if we were in need. We barely used water transport and walked everywhere around Venice and enjoyed the neighborhood. There is even a park right next to it. We had an extremely enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend Federico's place.
