This is a wonderful place, very well presented and clean, in a fantastic location right on the Grand Canal, close to the main attractions but with quieter local districts just a few minutes away. The bars, cafes and restaurants there are great quality and value and highly recommended although it was still worth the expense of a few drinks sitting right on the busy waterfronts and taking in the sights and sounds of such a great city. We had so much fun just walking through the backstreets and alleys before emerging into the famous places and then getting back away from the crowds after seeing the sights. We used the waterbus to get back to Rialto and San Silvestro after a long day out, a day or two day pass is worth considering. Also, as the property is right on the waterfront then use the airport water transfer through Alilunga Waterbus (€15 each way) and the Tragalotte ferry to minimise dragging your bags through the narrow streets and up and over bridges you will get if you go by train or road taxi. If you want to splash out the get private water taxi direct from airport to the front door of the property; the host gave us a contact who we booked and he provided the glasses for us to drink our Prosecco as we cruised around being shown the main sites and taking it all in. Expensive, yes but worth every penny in our view.
