Beatrice's place was of the old Venetian style. It was calm, quiet, solid with exposed beams, tastefully decorated and on the ground floor. It took a short walk to the waterbus stop at Guglie over the bridge nearby and that immediate locality offered excellent daily food shopping. The appartment was also easy to find from the train station and cruise port. I walked to both several times, including using the "People Mover" to the cruise port. The Ghetto area was a short stroll away . The Sistiere of Cannaregio can be highly recommended as an area to live while in Venice.
