The apartment is perfectly located. Just outside is the vaporetto station. It is highly centralized and close to local markets and restaurants. The loft is light filled and airy and one can see views of the alps on clear days. The decor is minimalist and carefully considered without much frou from that I hate so much. It is a three floor walk up to the apartment but we got used to it. The bathroom was funky with the sloping roof over the tub but I did not mind sitting while taking a shower.
