This apartment is off a quiet, yet perfectly safe, alleyway. Although less than a two-minute walk from busy Strada Nuova (lined with restaurants, cafes and shops), you never hear any street noise. It is an easy walk to and from the vaporetto stop. The fact that there are no bridges to maneuver is a huge plus!
The apartment was clean, the beds were comfortable, everything functioned well. We called Lionella when we got to the train station and she was waiting for us when we got to the vaporetto stop. She recommended a neighborhood restaurant, Taverna al Remer, which we enjoyed so much that we went twice during our five-night stay.
In addition to touring Saint Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace, we highly recommend that you take a vaporetto to the island of Burano. One of the highlights of our stay. We got off at the Mazzorbo stop just before Burano and had a delightful lunch at Trattoria alla Maddalena. An easy walk from there to Burano.
