If you like being a bit off the beaten track then this is the place for you. Great area predominantly populated by Venetians rather than tourists, which makes it unusual for Venice. Lovely walk back along the water from St Marks square. Easy access to Vaporetto both for Venice, Islands and Airport. The apartment is situated on a very quiet backwater but close to the busy and vibrant Via Giuseppe Garibaldi - great atmosphere here! The hosts Harald and Valeria were extremely good at communicating everything we needed to know and the person they arranged to hand the keys to us was friendly and punctual. All in all no complaints. We would happily stay there again. Great hosts, great location!
