Beautiful and large place in Venice! You’re about a 15 minute walk from St. Mark’s plaza and about 22 minute walk from the cruise port. We never felt unsafe walking around Venice, even around midnight there are people out and about. It was nice that this location was quieter than the more touristy spots on the other side of the Grand Canal. One thing to know, is that if you aren’t taking a private water taxi, there are several steps and bridges you will need to navigate, so that’s something to keep in mind!
We loved being able to see the boats go by in the canal, and it was a nice residential neighborhood that wasn’t littered with people taking photos for their Instagram. I’d definitely recommend staying here.
