We loved staying at Patrizia’s apartment in Venice! It was just off one of the main walkways 5-10mins from the train station but was still quiet.
The place was also exceptionally clean and has been nicely renovated including beautiful furniture and pictures.
Tip: visit the area around osteria “Vino Vero” a few mins walk for great places for food and aperitif that is not full of tourists and much quieter. Vino Vero for starters is highly recommended for vino and chinchetti
