For us this was a perfect place to stay. A lovely comfortable apartment. It is in a quiet street so very restful. But at the end of the street are good restaurants and cafes and a great ambience. This area feels residential and real Venice. It is still only a 5 minute walk maximum out onto the main front at Riva degli Schiavoni and under 10 mins to San Marco. Round the backstreets are some lovely local shops and bakeries
At the end if the street and turn left there is a superb take away pizza place where they make the pizzas in front of you and cook to order - they are excellent value and delicious. Called C'e Pizza e Pizza.
