Great location. It starts to feel a little quiet and far away as you near the apartment, but that might be a good thing since Venice is so overcrowded with tourists. This neighborhood is not one of those parts. Although, you could jump into all the sights and spectacles and cheap merchandise if you really wanted to pretty quickly. We found all of the best food and coffee we had in Venice very close to this place. It seems like where people who actually live here would go. It's also very pretty in this part of Venice. The place was a little lackluster on the inside. Definitely darker and colder than it looks in the pictures. Floor felt dirty. Knocked some points off the rating because there were a few big bugs roaming around this place, felt like I woke up with new bites every day. If you stay here, you'll have to take out your own trash, and the trash guys don't ring your bell, so maybe expect to wait around for them for a couple hours early in the morning. Although our host was helpful when we couldn't figure out how to dispose of it. She's very helpful for anything we needed and responds very quickly. This is definitely the neighborhood you want to be in.
