The apartment is a relatively easy walk from the water bus dock, restaurants and shopping but far enough off the beaten path that we could escape the crowds and noise for some quiet. The apartment itself is darling -- made for a relaxing stay in Venice. We really enjoyed having the space and amenities you don't typically find in hotels. Ida provided tea and coffee and there are several markets nearby too. It was quite easy to get around although we did get lost a couple of times (don't depend solely on Google maps!! Keep a paper map with you!) and if you have time, jump on a water bus to visit Murano or go to the public beach on Lido -- they are easy to get to!
Overall, great stay! Thank you, Ida.
