Sofia’s apartment is beautiful and spacious, with a little balcony with view of the canal. The area is nice, less touristy but still with lots of bars and restaurants nearby. There are several popular bars right below on the street with some noise in the evenings, but with the fan on it was not too loud to sleep. The bed is very comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer! It was the perfect spot for me and my husband to explore Venice from.
