Lovely & large sized apartment in a great area - close enough, but not too close to San Marco & The Ponte Rialto. Only 10 minutes walk from St. Lucia train station. Great view from the windows overlooking a lovely canal & a Basilica. The Canareggio area around Rio della Misericordia & Rio della Sensa was what felt like the real Venice that the locals go to escape the tourist hordes - quiet in the backstreets, but full of life on the main canals with great bars & restaurants full of interesting people. Highly recommended.
