The apartment was beyond our expectations. Of all the places we stayed in Italy, it was, by far, our favourite. The spacious, light-filled rooms, terrace overlooking the canal, and so many thoughtful details (eg: music system and extensive CD collection, fridge stocked with welcoming drinks and snacks, beautiful furniture and linens) made for a wonderful place to relax while enjoying Venice. After four days of extensive wandering through the six districts, our family all agreed that Cannaregio, with it's beautiful, sunny canal streets was the one we liked the most. Carmen and her lovely downstairs neighbours were incredibly kind and helpful, even arranging to store our luggage during our last day in the city. Thank you, Carmen. We will definitely be back!
