we had an amazing time in venice! it's an unbelievable beautiful city with great areas. the neighbourhood of carlos apt is very cool and not as touristy as in the very center, which is just a 5min walking distance - everything is very close (5-10min to shopping area, 20min to San Marco, 20min to station Venezia Santa Lucia, 10min to Rialto). We really liked the street of the apt itself, the restaurant next to the house (Paradiso)
