What a spectacular apartment! The view out of the front windows is everything you could want from an apartment in Venice. Very clean and beautiful decor throughout. The canal area in front of the home is very quiet and we would sit near the steps in the evening, only seeing a few people walk by or stop to sit near us. Almost felt like our very own patio! So quiet and cannot stress the view enough. Only a 10 minute or less walk from the train station and far less touristy and crowded than the Doge Palace area. We could walk there in 15 minutes but then escape back to our little piece of paradise. The shops and cafes nearby were wonderful, felt more authentic and peaceful that the touristy areas. Loved this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
