Check in was a breeze. The location was perfect by the canal and surrounding Rialto shops. The apartment itself was huge with dining and kitchen utensils good for a big group. Although we were only 5, I was able to host an after dinner wine and cheese for more than a dozen friends who were also visiting. The view from the living and dining rooms were the envy of my friends. Although there was a restaurant/bar at the ground floor, it was not noisy at all. Overall, I think I got a very good deal with the property. We were sad we had to leave
