We absolutely loved this charming apartment. It was perfect for me, my wife, and our 9 yr old son; and we would highly recommend it for a couple or small family looking for an apartment off the main tourist route and yet still conveniently located to shops, restaurants, and night-life. The apartment is updated and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony over the canal in the evening and morning when it was cool (the temperature during our stay was above the average) and the ambiance was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again. Note to non-Italian speakers: our host was not in town to let us into the apartment, so we were let in and given a tour of the apartment by the downstairs neighbor who spoke only Italian. Still, she managed to convey everything we needed to know, and with the written communication we had from our host (Carmen) we did not lack for anything during our stay. Check out was far simpler than what we are accustomed to with rentals in the U.S.. No starting a load of laundry (linens or towels) or making sure all the dirty dishes are either started in the dishwasher or washed by hand what didn’t fit in the machine. Just leave the keys and close the door behind you!
