The Fondamenta della Sensa (dock) – with Fondamenta de la Misericordia, degli Ormesini, & dei Mori - is part of a scene of peaceful walks along canals (all parallel), away from tourist ways. You can really enjoy a lunch on a sunny terrace, discover churches away from the center yet amazing, such as Madonna dell'Orto, Sant'Alvise…
These docks are located behind the Ghetto, the historic Jewish district of Venice, where are hidden magnificent synagogues.
Nowadays, this area is a typical working-class neighbourhood, with narrow streets, wells, and bridges, between the massive Campo del Ghetto Nuovo that overflows with outdoor cafés and terraces, and the Cannaregio Canal itself where you can catch a vaporetto.
Strada Nova—the throughway that divides Cannaregio and the Rialto district—is home to the San Leonardo market that is bustling from morning to night.
The apartment itself is easily accessible from the railway station or from Fondamenta Nuove stop.
