What a lovely apartment in an unreal location! The interior of the flat beckons back to traditional Venice, but has a great AC (essential on very hot days) and is sparkling clean. The building itself has gorgeous architecture and is right, smack dab on the canal. We took a private water taxi which was seamless from the train station to the front of Anna's lovely place. Public transport on the Vapretto is right around the corner and Rialto is steps away, making getting a coffee in the morning or walking to the Palazzo a breezy! Uda, who met us, was gracious and friendly and made us feel very welcome. He even responded immediately when my 14 year old son locked himself in the bathroom and couldn't get the key out. Thank you! The only thing we lacked were kitchen amenities such as paper towels, a new scrubber, soap, etc. but with the gorgeous location we were able to overlook that easily!
