Great apartment. Great host. Incredible location. Great all around. It is the place we'll stay on future Venice visits. For anyone concerned about not being on the other side of the Grand Canal, forget those worries. This is a superior location right at the Academia Bridge. This side is quieter and less crowded and much more delightful. Shops and restaurants just steps away from your door. We didn't use the secondary sofa/bed so I can't speak to that, but everything else was extraordinary.
