Wow! I mean wow! This place is so amazing. First, just look at it. Marble floors, classic furniture. Then there's the views. The pictures on the listing don't do it justice. You are basically on the 8th floor of the Palazetto (9th if you're in the bedroom). You have a magnificent view of the Grand Canal and the city in 3 different directions. We saw fireworks our last night! There are a few compromises. The elevator takes you up to the 5th floor, but you do have to take stairs up the last 3 flights. The shower situation is interesting. There's a stand up shower in a tiny bathroom with the toilet and sink all in the same stall. The other is a tub with a shower handle. But those are minor. The apartment is beautiful and the views are even better. They provided us water when we arrived and power adapters. I would stay there again in a minute. It was fantastic!
