Beautiful and comfortable apartment overlooking Rio Marin in Santa Croce.
Short walk from the train station with two bridges to cross, which was doable even with heavy luggage. Great location in a less-touristy part of the city with easy vaporetto access at the Riva de Biasio stop.
Lots of cafés around and an awesome grocery store next door (get some meat, bread, and cheese and make yourself a charcuterie board to eat while people-watching from the balcony).
There's gondola service a block down the fondamenta at the Campo Santo bridge that takes you out onto the Grand Canal for a few minutes of sightseeing and back down Rio di San Zan-Degola for a pleasant and peaceful ride.
Casa Anna is an amazing place and was a perfect fit for our three nights in Venice as part of our European honeymoon.
