My husband and I loved staying at Jean-Luc's flat. The location was amazing, very central on the island so we could walk almost anywhere in 10-15 minutes, to the Biennale, to Castello, to the San Marco area, and up into Cannaregio. It is right next to a fantastic bakery, a great bar with cicchetti and super cheap aperitivi, and the Coop Market. The place is comfy (though not extravagant), but spacious and has a fully equipped kitchen. Keep in mind, there are a lot of steep stairs to get up to the flat, so you should be in relatively good shape if you plan to stay here. As a result, the view from the windows is incredible. I felt that the stairs were a good compensation for how many carbs we were eating. We were there for a week and felt like locals by the end of it. If you want an authentic Venetian experience, go for it!
