We really enjoyed staying at Irene's apartment it is in a nice area easy to access St Mark's Square but not being too close. Also it is an easy walk to get to the vaperetto water buses to visit other islands or parts of Venice. The apartment is in a lovely old building at the top of several flights of stairs, it has lovely new bathrooms and kitchen, with views across the roofs, and down to the canal. In the morning it is lovely to hear the bells ringing from different towers. There is a coop nearby and several restaurants and cafes. Irene was really helpful and quick communicating, giving us advice on directions, her daughter met us on our first day, helping us to find the way and giving us helpful advice for our stay.
