Lovely, airy, spacious apartment just far enough away from the 'intensity' of Piazza San Marco. Quiet, safe working class neighborhood adds to the experience. Quick vapporetto ride to the Lido provided a great change of pace.

Apartment was clean and elegantly decorated; bathroom large enough for two if need be.

Only unavoidable drawback is the 4 flight walk-up. But one gets used to it & it adds to the "I live here" experience.
