We had a super holiday in Venice and thought our location was great. We were walking distance to all the major tourist attractions but quiet enough to feel relaxed. There was a small supermarket very near the apartment, a bakery and coffee shop opposite us and the ferry across the Grand Canal was just around the corner (the vaporetta too). Andrea met our bus when we arrived from the airport and walked us back to his apartment (about ten minutes away). He was very friendly and made sure he was contactable throughout our stay. We would definitely recommend his place!
