Great neighborhood away from the main tourist areas for a 'get away' from it all. About a 25-30 minute walk from St. Mark's Square which can be rough after a full day of walking/sightseeing, however we love the location away from the busy/loud central areas. Just a few doors away from a small, quiet canal with plenty of restaurants/shops in the area so you don't have to go farther into town. A bit smaller than we thought, but still plenty of room for our family of four with our kids sharing a room with twin beds. Loved Venice and definitely recommend this apartment if your goal is to be in a quieter, less touristy neighborhood.
