The location of the apartment is perfect - right next to one of the big canals where you can find restaurants, bars and gelaterias. The streets next to the canal are very busy in the evenings but since the apartment is within a closed yard, the noise does not get to it. If you're keen on walking, it is possible to reach most of the sightseeing objects by foot. If not, there is a subway station a few minutes away. Chris was very helpful and accommodating during our stay, I would definitely stay here again.
