If you want to feel like a Venice (Island) local, this is the place for you! Less than 10 minutes walking from Santa Lucia Train Station, and only 5 minutes walking from locally-loved bars and restaurants (try Casa Bonita Ristorante -- we went there twice, it was so good!). If you walk 5 minutes north, you'll also have a great time boat-watching at the edge of the island.

What we loved about the place is that it's in the NW corner of the island, tucked away from the tourists and hubbub of St. Mark's Square (which you can get to by water taxi in 10 minutes, or on foot in less than 30). The only tricky part of Venice, as you'll come to find, is that the alley-ways start and stop like a maze, sometimes ending at a waterway, where you'll need to turn around and start over. It's fun to get lost if you've got nothing else to do (and a map to get you back).

As for the place itself, it's a cozy 2-bedroom with a small backyard patio. Very simple space for the traveler who wants to spend most of their time outside.
