Our goal was to find a location that was kid friendly, could accommodate 5 of us, and was right on a canal in the heart of Venice. This location accomplished all. Situated on one of the smaller canals, we could still see gondolas and other boats passing by with bridges to the right and left. Right out the front door you are in the middle of the fun old streets of Venice, very walkable. Stefano was very helpful in arranging water taxis to/from the airport as well as someone to let us in late night as we arrived very late and left very early in the morning. The place is modern, so maybe lacks the old Venetian charm if that's what you're looking for, but the bathrooms/showers and the kitchen were all fantastic and the bedrooms were extremely dark, allowing for good sleep.
