The apartment was great -- clean, quiet, good AC, two bedrooms with doors (great if you have a child who needs to go to sleep before the adults). A few metres from a boat stop and within easy walking distance of the train station. There are good restaurants on the canal near the apartment. Best of all is that the apartment is in the residential area of Venice, just a little bit away from the crowds of the popular tourist spots. It was great to exit the rush of Venice attractions and come home to a quiet neighborhood and a calm, cool apartment with nice restaurants just a few steps away. I'd definitely stay here again.
