Lovely and practical apartment. Obviously, the biggest selling point is the gorgeous windows overlooking the grand canal at "street" level. The view is everything it's cracked up to be--I loved drinking my morning coffee with feet dangling over the canal, watching the boats sway by. (Of course, the downside of the big windows is limited privacy in the living room--prepare for delivery men right outside your window, and to be featured prominently in tourist photos, though the main bedroom is in back and thus super quiet and private :) ). The entrance is centrally located and literally ten steps from the vaporetto stop--really clutch when you're schlepping bags! Super clean, fast internet, washer, and all modern comforts. Christina is an extremely kind and responsive host.
