This is an absolutely gorgeous apartment, beautifully decorated and comfortable in every way. It is RIGHT on the Grand Canal and you can see the building from the canal if you take a tour. Nearby is San Marcuola vaporetto stop to take you anywhere you don't want to walk. But within walking distance are the Central Station (straight ten minute walk) and Le Guglie bridge (where you can catch a boat to the airport via Alilaguna line). Nearby also are great restaurants and shops, grocery stores and anything you need. To get to Rialto and San Marco is a leisurely walk or a boat ride if you prefer (but we loved the walk!) If you want authenticity, a real Venice experience, and a place you will not want to leave, this is for you. I plan to go back if I can.
