The first Cannaregio apartment was near the Fondamente Nove, straight up Calle della Racheta, and the second, in fact, up beyond the Misericordia on Fondamenta Ormesini. The numbers, for me, are only confirmation that I have managed to find the right address...never for how to find it. I wouldn't have it any other way, however, I will admit. Too bad travelers don't have that handy book. They probably need it more than the Venetians! ;) I have never lived near Santi Apostoli, although that would be a very convenient area.

So you probably have lived before near Santi Apostoli and then near Misericordia. But in all Venetian homes there is a useful book with the maps and numbers :-).
