This is an excellent location if you want to get away from the crowded touristy areas and experience the calm side of Venice. Piazza San Marco is about a twenty minute walk. There are bridges and stairs over every canal. We had two strollers, but with two people to carry them over, it was manageable. There is a supermarket about 5 minutes walk away to get essentials. Everything in the apartment was so clean and the hosts responded quickly to every message. We enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend it!
