Apartment was very good. Luigia was an excellent hostess and very responsive when I had any questions. Location was very good. 10 minutes walk to the grand canal. Only advice is pack light or spend the money to get a water taxi right to the canal in front of the apartment. We had lots of heavy bags and getting from the ferry to the apartment over several bridges (steps) almost killed us. Only other note is that mattress was extra firm. For many this is a plus but I prefer a bit softer!
