On the plus side, the apartment is absolutely enormous, cavernous even. With 3 bedrooms, a gigantic living room, a sitting area and a modestly sized kitchen, there was more than enough room for the 6 of us. The location is extremely convenient to the Train Station - just a 5 minute walk, which is a welcome relief when either arriving to or departing from Venice. The wi-fi signal was strong enough to manage at least 5-7 devices capably. The two bathrooms are renovated (one with tub, one with shower) and the water is nice and hot. There are some absolutely fantastic restaurants literally out the door (turn left down the Canal and they are all there within 50 feet of each other on both sides of water).

On the down side, the location is relatively far from San Marco - a 25-30 minute walk, minimum. Because the apartment faces the canal, it can be a little noisy on a Saturday night, but it wasn't a major issue. The biggest problem we had was a distinct smell of sewage that wafted throughout the apartment. We could not discern if this was the plumbing or the venting. We chalked it up to Venetian charm, and since we spent most of our hours outside the apartment, we didn't make a big deal out of it.
