The apartment is beautiful and has a lovely view of the canal. Only 1 min from San Marco and surprisingly quiet. Big kitchen and table but no living room or couches. Lots of stairs, no lift...fine for my family but people with mobility challenges may find it difficult. The downstairs building door didn't lock and there was a scammer that came to our door. The apartment itself was very secure and we never felt unsafe, just be cautious if others knock on your door.
