Vasco gives very detailed directions, very helpful if you are not familiar with local transport. The apartment is very peaceful and secluded. If you suffer with the cold it is well heated in colder months which is a plus. The canal is full of local restaurants but Vasco is forthcoming with recommendations if you want a local touch. Close to metro/tram/bus so you can get to the Duomo within 18mins. Transport runs frequently so you will never be waiting too long. The apartment itself is lovely with the bedroom and bathroom upstairs which may be difficult if you have restricted mobility but I quite enjoyed the novelty of the spiral staircase. Enjoyed our time and only wish we had longer in the city. Definitely recommend this stay.
