A great place to experience Venice. The apartment is a beautifully restored home with three generous bedrooms and a living room that overlooks a quiet canal. The owner has taken great care in making his guests feel at home and comfortable, with a wonderful collection of books in the library with a decidedly Venetian theme, and an "owners manual" pointing out the nearby services, restaurants and even a short collection of itineraries and suggestions for exploring Venice. We were greeted by an aid who introduced us to the apartment, answered all our questions and made some suggestions of his own. This is a quiet residential neighborhood, far away from the real touristy areas, but close enough (5 minute walk) to the vaporetto that will take you to stops along the Grand Canal. Two very nice little piazzas are minutes away for shopping, dining and people watching.
