Fantastic location, and a lovely spacious and clean apartment. I stayed here for three weeks and felt very much at home--and it would be a terrific place for just a quick stay too. It's a few minutes walk from major sites (Frari Church, Scuolo Grande, etc) and within the oldest parts of Venice, but also a place where ordinary people live and you can explore endlessly. Definitely try the Pasticceria Tonolo (famous for fritters and traditional pastries) just down the street. It's a fun shortcut to take the nearest traghetto (S. Toma) to San Marco island (a traghetto is a gondola-style boat that ferries passengers to and fro for 2 euros each way). Or it's a beautiful walk across either the Rialto or Accademia Bridges. If you want to head out for a stunning jog (or just a walk), a good route is to follow the nearby Fondamente Malcanton south, turn onto Fondamente San Basilio, then round onto Fondamenta Zattere which runs east along the wide seaside promenade on the south side of the island, all the way to a view of San Marco from the St. Maria of Salute Basilica. Oh - and I should add that there is great internet, fast and reliable the whole time I was there. I was also there in January, and the apartment is really nicely heated. The bedroom and living room are very bright in the day, but shutters keep them nicely dark at night; and it's on a quiet private alley that comes off a very pretty canal. My hosts were also gracious and really helped to orient me.
