Federico’s apartment is very near to the train station, within 5 minute’s walk.
We took boat 1 to San Marco and walked back to the apartment through Ponte Realto. We basically walked in the whole Island. It was nice to walk on the Island and see the surroundings in person.
We stayed in Stefano’s apartment and had a good experience of how the locals live on the Island. The canal is just right in front of the apartment. We got to see boats and gondolas passing by and also see tourists walking by.
There is a supermarket nearby and restaurants easy to find.
As the apartment is over the bridge, getting luggages over the bridge is a good exercise. We hired a porter for the luggage and it’s not a problem at all.
Overall, our stay in Venice was a good one.
