Do you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas of Venice but close enough to walk in when you want? Do you like beautiful views over the water? We do, and this apartment was perfect for us. The apartment is on what Americans would call the 2nd floor, overlooking the lagoon and the vaporetto stop. We traveled with our 7 year old child who loved that she could watch the people coming and going from her room. The apartment was quiet and had everything we needed. Along the walk in to the main areas, there is a small grocery store and a larger supermarket, so it is easy to grab whatever you need for the apartment at the end of your day (or pop over if you came home by the vaporetto). The neighborhood feels like a local neighborhood. People walk their dogs and take their kids to school. And the views from the apartment are unbeatable. Put the kid to bed, pour some wine, and gaze across the lagoon! When we return to Venice, this is where we'll stay.
