Fantastic apartment - fantastic location! We LOVED this place and would recommend it to anyone. Communication with Giorgia and Michele was fantastic and easy; they were responsive to emails. They gave us a list of suggestions all over town; and never led us astray - all were spot-on.
The apartment was an easy 5-7 minute walk from the bus station - and 3-4 from the train station just across the Scalzia bridge. Even though it was so close to the Grand Canal (yes you can see it out the window) - it was not loud - as the windows were very sound proof.
Though there are about 50 steps to get up to the apartment (there is no lift) we loved being on the top floor; as it was super quiet and spacious; with a wonderful view.
