Amazing apartment. Elisabetta came and walked us to the apartment from the vaporetto stop and pointed out things of interest along the (like the grocery store)! The apartment was tucked away on a little side street but was very close to St. Mark's Square. Once she showed us the way we had no trouble coming and going. The apartment was perfect for two couples - we each had our own comfortable bedroom and private bath on opposite sides of the living room so we had lots of privacy as well as an area to get together. The picture of the window looking out at the canal is exactly as it is - I sat on the floor at the window one afternoon and waved at the gondoliers as they went by right at my eye level. Even though it is right on a canal, there is very little boat traffic at night and noise is not a problem. Two kitchens - the back one is very well stocked so we had everything that we needed. Coop grocery store is very close so you can pick up anything. Couldn't have been nicer stay.
