Great location in an edgy part of town. A stones throw from some really good bars and restaurants along the canal (think- sipping a refreshing Aperol Spritz and sampling some delicious Venetian tapas while dangling you legs above the canal-watch out though for cheeky crabs nibbling your toes in the evening!!). You can walk pretty much anywhere in the city in half an hour, it's quite a maze though, embrace getting lost. It's a brilliant base from which to explore the magical city of Venice.
Top tip- What I like to call "Quay Wine". There is a charming little wine shop along the canal in which you can buy a litre and a half of wine for €4.20!!! (We chose the most popular red but there is also white and sparkling- something for everyone!!) Choose your poison and do as the Venetians do, find a spot along the quay and settle down for a pleasant, releaixng evening with your favourite tipple!
