Great location! It's an easy walk to San Marco, the Academy area, Rialto, and a couple of water bus stops. There are many restaurants near by. The must be a music school nearby, as we enjoyed piano, violin, and some opera singing, during the day. At night, it's very quiet. The staff that helped check is in were phenomenal. She met us at the water bus stop, provided recommendations for groceries and dining, and arranged a water taxi for when we left. The apartment was great - very comfortable. The air conditioning worked great too! The only issue, and minor at that, is that the description said there is a washer and dryer. There is a washer, but only a portable drying rack - no dryer. Fortunately, clothes dried quickly.
