Great apartment in a very central location, just off Strada Nova. 15 minute walk from the train station. Easy access to the vaporetto at Ca d'Oro. You can walk to San Marco in 10-15 minutes, 10 minutes to Rialto, and 5 minutes to the north edge of Venice (in the beautiful old ghetto area, where it's mostly residences). Grocery store right around the corner.
The apartment is tucked away from the noise of Strada Nova, and there is a lovely courtyard in the back. Comfortable beds, good shower, and a small kitchen (we did not cook).
Gabriella warmly welcomed us, and demonstrated the use of everything. Lots of tips for places to eat in the neighborhood. There's a great little Osteria just across the bridge where a lot of the locals hang out in the afternoon, and my wife and daughter ran into Gabriella and friends there.
We did not meet Giorgio, as he was away for work, but had excellent communication with him leading up to our trip. Great experience, grazie mille Gabriella e Giorgio!
