This apartment is very special.
I stayed with my wife and two children (10 and 7). The neighbourhood is incredibly friendly to the extent that one of my children's favourite things to do was to go off by themselves to buy breakfast at the nearby shops before returning to lay it out in the appartment's fabulous garden overlooking the Grand Canal. The garden is a really special feature of this place: calm to recharge in after the bustle of the city.
Apart from shops, there are some really excellent restaurants within ten minutes walk, and a vaporetto stop a couple of minutes away. It is even possible to get a water taxi from the appartment (which Anna very kindly arranged for us). Being dropped back "home" by gondola late at night is something we'll never forget. I can't recommend this place highly enough.
