The location is ideal. Staying in an apartment gives you a sense of the neighborhood and the campo (square) around San Giacomo da l’Orio is full of local families, a Co-Op grocery store and some good restaurants. A 15 minute walk puts you in most of the tourist sites. I find the area around San Marco overwhelmingly busy at times and this apartment offers a calm oasis. Two vaporetto stops and one troghetta stop are nearby. The train station is a 10-minute walk. Benedetta was extremely accommodating and communication on What’s App was excellent ( If you’re arriving from North America and don’t use What’s App, strongly consider downloading it before arriving - very convenient when communicating here. I would certainly stay again!
