Absolutely perfectly appointed and perfectly situated apartment. The apartment was spotless with modern and traditional elements. Loads of character and in the best part of Venice.
It’s far enough away from the tourist traps and had a really authentic feel. Almost everyone that frequented the bars and restaurants in the area are local but many of the locals escape to this quarter so would recommend booking if you are going out for dinner - maybe 7pm as locals tend to eat a bit later than that.
Venice is beautiful, we are so happy to have discovered the Cannaregio quarter of the city as it was authentic and peaceful ... it’s quiet at the right times but also lively at the right times too ... with better food at much better great value.
Venice can be expensive, particularly as you get closer to St Marks square where a glass of Champagne could cost around $35, but in Canaregio a glass of Prosecco was around €2.50 and Cicchetti (tapas like nibbles on local bread) was as little as €1 per portion. So tasty and it feels good to be eating and drinking more authentic food at such good value.
I would give Venice and the Cosy Nest 5 stars for everything.
