I really enjoyed the area, it was so authentically italian with all the local people and the nice churches around the corner.
I really liked it that my host picked me up at the vaporetto-station so I didn't had to find my own way in the maze of Venetian streets. He was friendly and helpful.
The location of the flat was ideal as well, only a few minutes away from the waterbus-stop so I was able to explore the city easily.
