We loved the accommodation.
The apartment was by the canal and (Gondola rush hour 4-5 ish) we would sit by the window and watch the tourists, pass by below, you could chat to the gondoliers as they passed the window.
Location wise, it was very convenient, no bridges to cross walking from the airport boat to the accommodation. Easy to find. 1 minute from the nearest shop for urgent supplies. Nice cafes nearby for picking up coffee and bakery items. 10 minutes walk from St Mark's square. Near Academia area too, where, there are lovely restaurants and bars.
