We arrived in a downpour and Betty's daughter met us down the street. She was very kind and sweet. The apartment was immaculate. Everything is brand new, it felt so fresh and clean. If you want a neighborhood of Venice residents, with little babies strolled by grandmothers, kids in neighboring apartments exclaiming with glee when 'Papa' gets home, locals having dinner or drinks then this is your place. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to the square.
FYI even the locals don't know the name of this tiny side street, you will want your google map/gps....
