We visited Venice to see the main sights/sites, and also to visit the Biennale Architectura which was running in Venice at the time. The apartment was very well located for the Biennale, and was only about 15 minutes walk to St Mark's Square. We enjoyed eating local food and being in a less touristy location than most of the hotels seem to be.
Marilia is a wonderful hostess - she provided detailed directions on how to find the apartment, met us and showed us through.
I would recommend this venue to anyone wanting a few days of peace and quiet in a lovely part of Venice.
