As other reviewers already stated, its location is unbeatable. It's a clean flat throughout, with real furniture with taste, a well-equipped kitchen (suppose you wouldn't make a full course dinner for 8 people), a bathroom with a shower that won't go cold (v.important), a quiet bedroom with mosquito repellant and an electric fan for coolness in the summer, plenty wardrobe in case you go to Teatro La Fenice, all in a historic and safe building. In the morning, you are simply awed by opening living room windows and seeing the water reflection on the ceiling. You can feel you ARE in Venezia. I don't see the apartment suits people who enjoy watching their kids running around the apartment with gondola figures or wearing glittering masks, but for those who grin by distantly hearing boatsmen chatting while they passed by your front windows; The Grand Canal.
