My husband and I had a great time staying at their apartment in Venice. It is not in the middle of the main touristy area rather situated by locals- which was right where we wanted to be. The tourist areas are just a walk from the apartment which we did not mind. The views of the Giudecca Canal from the apartment are wonderful. The vaporetto stop outside the window can be noisy until ~11, but we used a sleep sound app and it was fine.
