What a beautiful place to stay, almost like a mini palazzo. Elegantly furnished, huge room, spotlessly clean, very nice shared area and handy kitchenette for making coffee etc. The view out of the window directly onto the canal is magical. Only ten minutes walk from St Mark's Square and the bustling centre of Venice, but a very quiet neighbourhood - the nearby square by the Ospedale feels very much like a place where the locals gather. Handy for the boat stops on the northern shore of the island, only ten minutes walk from the apartment to the Alilaguna stop for the airport boat or the vaporetto out to Murano. Plenty nearby shops, bars and restaurants. Excellent communication and a very slick automatic check-in system. Highly recommended? Grazie!
One tip for future guests: if you are navigating to the apartment with GPS maps as we did, note that there are two streets called Ca' Cicogna in Venice, my phone took us and our heavy bags to the wrong one which is about 15 minutes walk away. We could have done without that diversion after a long day. Make sure you go to the right one! Easiest if you navigate to the restaurant opposite the apartment which is called Ai Pie del Ponte. :o)
