Anna’s place is perfectly located — a short walk from the station but out of the throng of tourists who pour into Venice everyday. There’s a small wine bar, a green grocer, a cafe with great coffee and a supermarket right downstairs, so everything you need is right there. It’s right on a small canal, which makes for amazing views, although be warned that the canal is a hive of activity at all hours of the day and night so can be noisy. The apartment is very compact but a good fit for our family of three. We were hosted by the lovely Paolo, who met us and walked us to the apartment and was available for any and all questions during our stay. A truly remarkable host!
