The apartment is in a great location--you are living with the local Venetians! We found it more spacious then a regular hotel room. Air conditioning in the common area but not in the bedroom. Although the room does cool down at night nicely. Loved being on the canal but it can be a bit noisy at times ....Anna is so nice and super helpful finding us a church to attend, arranging a local tour if we wanted and made us a great breakfast. I'm gluten free and she was very accommodating.
