This apartment is ideally located on a very quiet canal (on the 3rd floor, it is very quiet), away from major tourist spot so that one feels in the midst of Venetians going about their lives. It was spacious and well kept, no problems with heating (we were there in December) hot water, wifi, etc. Thus, it was a perfect base to explore Venice by foot; it is about 10-15 minutes by foot from San Marco, and not far from a water-bus station for the islands. Hosts were also very responsive and helpful, whenever we had queries. If we come back to this fabulous city, we will want to rent this apartment again.
