Andrea's apartment was very comfortable and close by to food and the canal. Plenty to eat and see at night when everything opens, otherwise it's a bit of a ghost town during the Italian siesta when everything is closed so be prepared to get food at the grocery store. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the apartment to the subway. Its a pretty popular place to be at night so it's quite noisy until about 5 am, as cocktail bars are right outside. Otherwise was a great stay. Andrea left some gifts for a taste of Italy that were nice.
