The location is convenient, very near a supermarket and some restaurants. Have to drag luggage some distance from the nearest water bus stop. Extremely crowded neighborhood. Have to walk quite a distance to St Mark's Square but the location is very central to anywhere u want to go. We found the apartment too dim, lack of mirror, room heater doesn't seem to be working well. You can hear footsteps of those living upstairs very clearly but this seems to be common in Italy. The place seems secure, u don't have to worry about people breaking in. Overall, the place is decent but we stayed in a better apartment than this in Venice.
