We were 2 couples who traveled for a cruise that left Venice. We stayed 2 nights prior and 2 nights after. The apartment is updated and in great condition with an amazing balcony. The location is in a residential area with easy access to near by restaurants. It is off the tourist area which is easily accessible by the Vaporetto just a 5-10 min walk away on the grand canal but it does not have a ticket office available at Piazzale Roma or other ticket offices. On the Grand Canal is OKE Restaurant which we highly recommend for their great Lasagna and Campo Santa Margherita is a 5 min walk away and is a locals area with restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay there again.
