Fantastic location in Venice. The view is absolutely divine - I sat at the window in the late afternoon and watched the sun set over the canal and watched the boats go by. Comfortable bed. Nice desk to work at. Plenty of hot water which isn't always the case in Italy. Be sure to ask for a demonstration of how the door lock/keys works before the greeter leaves - she didn't offer and we had some difficulty figuring them out ourselves. The location right on the Fondamenta is great - don't worry about noise. iots of folks strolling by in the day time but in the evening, the foot traffic disappears so it is very quiet. Only the soft sound of the occasional boat going by. Note that not many of the vaporetti that go up and down the main canal stop and the two stops near the apartment, so don't plan on using them, but it is an easy walk across to the Salute or Accademia stops, which is what we used all the time, or walk to the Accademia bridge and across to San Marco. Very convenient. Lots of good bars and restaurants very close by in the area between the apartment and the Accademia bridge.
