This place is fantastic! It all began with our flight to venice being delayed on the tarmac once we had boarded, we had no way of notifying Carlo (Patrizia's husband) who we had arranged to meet at the apartment. He had been checking flight information and knew we were running late so waited for us for around 2 hours.

As far as we are concerned we would not want to stay in any other area of Venice, Cannereggio is close enough to the railway station to walk with suitcases but far enough away to be quiet and not crowded with tourists. Likewise with Venice's main attractions, easy walking distance but a great place to escape to when the crowds flocking to the well known tourist attractions become overwhelming. There is a great little Bar/Cafe downstairs with friendly staff and reasonable prices and a ferry stop almost out the front which will take you to islands such as Murano and Burano.

The apartment is compact, as is everything in Venice, but is immaculately clean and has everything you need including kitchen with dishwasher, air conditioner and washing machine.

Very happy with this choice.
