This apartment is located near the Rialto Bridge, but far enough away from the chaos of all the tourism. The apartment was the biggest one we have stayed in so far, and there were many windows, so you always had an excellent view of the city. We enjoyed the balcony very much; it was very beautiful and quiet. The views do not include any of the waterways in case that is an expectation of the apartment. For those worried about the smells in the bathroom from past reviewers (like I was), just open the window after your shower. It is not bad at all. We loved our stay, and we loved Mimi!
