The apartment is in the quieter Sant Elena end of the city. It can be reached by walking or taking the water bus to the nearby stop. Giovanna came and met us at the stop and took us to the apartment showing us the local restaurant (very nice food and service) and the local shop. The apartment is clean and comfortable. The only downside is that the building is old and you can hear the other apartments occupants, especially at night. We had Avery nice stay and saw plenty of Venice. This apartment is excellent value compared to others that are near the centre. If you want to be on the island but away from the busy crowds then this is a good place to stay.
