The apartment was perfect in every aspect: its location, its design, its tip-top cleanliness. We greatly appreciated that it was completely renovated, with the proper window sealing, functional heating, clean A/C etc. which many apartments in Italy lack.
Also, the experience of just opening the door and enjoying the dinner with a view over the canal was marvelous!
And at last: Arsenale is the best quarter in Venice, apart from the islands the last one which feels local.
