This apartment is in a great location in Castello, a short walk from the Arsenale water transport stop and in easy walking to San Marco, but away from the super crowded areas of Venice. It was spotlessly clean, and was great to have a washing machine, so we could pack light. It is a bit noisy in the evening, due to a restaurant downstairs, but the noise quiets down when the restaurant closes, in time to sleep. We cooked a few meals while we were there. There is a great butcher shop a few doors down, and a bakery across the street from that, plus some fantastic restaurants nearby. Elena met me at the Arsenale stop, and check in and communication were easy. Thank you Elena for making us feel at home.
