This apartment and the view of the canal is something we will not soon forget - truly incredible! The automatic doors open right up into a canal, and it's amazing to sit there and relax as boats go by. The apartment is located in a quieter area, which is really nice - and communication from Cristina was excellent. We coordinated a private water taxi to the apartment with Cristina (as opposed to public water bus), and it was completely worth it with our heavy luggage. The apartment inside was everything I imagined a beautiful apartment in Venice would be. I would highly recommend!
