If you are looking for a character-filled apartment that will make you feel like a real Venetian, perhaps transported from the Renaissance or a Baroque opera, this is it. Marc and Elisabeth's apartment is gorgeously designed (featured in Architectural Digest) while still retaining a feeling of someone's actual home. We spent a magical month there in the autumn, and every time we came over the bridge to Fondamenta della Sensa, with the lights glowing in the apartment and diners beginning to gather at the restaurants on the embankment, we were so grateful to have found this very special place. Marc and Elisabeth were always available for advice or to resolve any small issues that always arise as you learn how a house/apartment works. The location is also superb: just a few bridges away from a larger shopping street and near the old Jewish Ghetto, but very quiet otherwise since this part of Cannaregio isn't a major tourist destination. A terrific stay.
