If you want to experience life in Venice this flat is for you. It is in a nice little neighborhood with markets, butcher shops, and the greatest little wine shop where you get your refillable bottles filled for 3-4 euros. It is ideally located just a five minute walk from where the airport water bus drops you off. It's a short walk from all the popular tourist stops such as the Realto Bridge and St Marks square. Irene was an excellent host and all her recommendations were spot on.
