We had a great week in Silvia's apartment, which is located centrally, close to San Marco, but without the feeling of being overwhelmed by tourists and bustle. The street itself is quiet and residential and it's very easy to find and close to a vaparetto stop. The apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable. The beds were particularly comfy! There's not much room for storing any clothes or luggage in the bedrooms, but apart from that it's a great base for exploring Venice. The historic entrance to the building is really striking.
