Must be in great shape to climb the many stairs to get to the apartment, but the view of the city and the canal are worth it. Our hosts were the best, sharing all important information about restaurants, groceries, etc. We did have to leave a day early to get to the airport for an early morning flight - it was not possible to get a cab to the airport. Water taxis are terrific, but we didn't plan that portion of the trip well enough. The airport is quite bit away.
