The location was excellent. It was only about 5 minutes from the vegetable and fish markets, and Rialto Bridge. We found that getting off at the Rialto mercato Vaporetto stop offered a straight shot to the Campo were the apartment is located. If you would really like to enjoy Venice without the hordes of tourists, we suggest that you get out by 6:30, around sun rise, and explore the city before all the crowds arrive. We attended a classical concert on Friday night and an opera on Saturday night. Both were excellent, and less than a 15 minute walk from the apartment. The clothes washer is very small and it takes close to 2 hours to do a loud. Just plan accordingly. We would stay here again.
