We enjoyed our time in Venice and this apartment was a great base from which to do that. It’s in the cannaregio area, which is a bit less touristy. We loved coming back to a quieter area after the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas! It’s about 15 mins from station and 30 mins from St Marks square. Very close to Guglie water bus stop. We enjoyed finding places to eat near the apartment as they were a bit quieter but by lovely canals.
The courtyard to the apartment is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting at the little table eating breakfast. The apartment could have been cleaner. Nothing major, but just more general wear and tear.
This is a great base if you are looking to be out exploring lots. However, if you are looking to feel like a local with tips from the host and a homely place to stay then this is probably not for you. There was lots of space, good air con and a comfy bed, but not all the useful kitchen things you might need to feel at home there.
