Nico's place is comfortable and in a great location for exploring Venice. It's about a 5 minute walk to Piazza San Marco and 10 minutes to the Rialto Bridge. It was really cool seeing gondolas go by outside our windows (sometimes hearing live accordions/singing from the gondolas as well!) The street is pretty quiet in the evening. We arrived late at night and had some challenges finding the place after picking up the keys because the directions given to us showed the apartment as in the middle of the canal (GPS doesn't work great in Venice), so I'd recommend reviewing the directions thoroughly with the host.
