This is a nice little apartment directly on a small canal and, if you lean out of the window, you can see the Grand Canal. It is in a great central location to see the most well-known sights such as the Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square. Overall the place is nice but does need a little maintenance. We were advised to close the screens due to mosquitoes, however some of the screens either don't close or when closed won't open again in which case you can't close the shutters at night. This wasn't detrimental to our experience, however, could easily be improved! The front door of the apartment locks fine, but the door to the courtyard doesn't truly latch so it can't really be locked. Our host, however, was very helpful with excellent advice on the sights to see which allowed us to see a great deal in a short period of time.
