Riccardo’s apartment is very spacious and larger than we needed for 2 people. Very comfortable bed, and remarkably quiet at night (except one Friday-night party at a neighbor’s, which can happen anywhere). Close to La Fenice and Santa Maria del Giglio vaporetto, with a short walk to the Accademia Bridge and Piazza San Marco. We made coffee using a stovetop espresso pot and fixed breakfast in the modest kitchen. The large dining table and sitting area, together with the kitchen and marble bathroom, accommodates small gatherings as well as just a couple (like us) — but we ate out. Loved the windows overlooking the canal. Did not need AC or heat in October. Highly recommended.
