This was a great place to stay in Venice! The best thing about the apartment was the location. It's in a great area of the city -- not too crowded, relatively few tourists, lots of bars/restaurants nearby. It's steps away from several nice wine bars and a fantastic restaurant, as well as just up to the street from a bakery. Short walk to Rialto and to Ponte dell' Accademia. The apartment itself is at the end of a relatively quiet street, so it's not loud (except boats going by up the canal in the morning). If you're very sensitive to noise, definitely bring some ear plugs, but overall the noise wasn't a problem. The apartment itself was basically as described. Good size for two couples although not huge, shared bathroom, etc. The apartment is located up two flights of stairs -- again, not a problem, but just keep it in mind if you have any mobility issues. The Views on Venice team was always very helpful and responsive, met us at the waterbus station and had lots of tips and neighborhood suggestions. Overall a great stay and I would recommend!
