The hosts were as described in the precious reviews - gracious and welcoming. The location was directly on the canal - yet tucked away at the back of Venice - which was great - you could easily walk to the hustle, but then come back to wonderful peace and quiet and watch working life go by on the river.
The little boutique stores in the street leading to the water at the side of the nearby church were some of the nicest in Venice.
It was a real cold snap, but the apartment was warm and cozy. Thanks.
