I was concerned this apartment was off the beaten track. Not at all. It's a couple of streets from the vaporetto and though on a lovely quiet canal a two minute walk takes you into a very lively area. So we loved the location. Tintoretto is buried next door in the church!
The apartment itself was nice and the garden a real added extra. It's full of lovely old pieces of furniture and prints.
Unfortunately, it wasn't perfect. The only shower did not work (it was a very cool - tepid at best, mostly cold) and it just dribbled out - we were told it's always like that. Also the house was pretty chilly and the thermostat didn't seem set properly.
But if they can fix those things it could be lovely.
