What a lovely piece of real Venice! There is a review somewhere that complained that this place was like a "grandma house" and I guess that's true... if your grandma was a Venetian with a beautiful flat full of original artisanal wood accents overlooking the grand canal. This is not a modern space, but it is a lovely place. The waterbus brought us over from Marco Polo airport and the stop was an easy walk (with no bridges) from the apartment. There are a lot of stairs up to the flat, so pack light! It was hot in Venice while we visited and we were SO grateful for the AC units in the bedrooms. They are only in the bedrooms, though, so it stayed pretty warm in the rest of the apartment, even with the windows open in the evening. And, speaking of the windows - we were treated to a jazz concert from Laguna Libre next door on our last night in Venice! (It was the only time we heard "noise" from below and it really was a treat). When we checked out we had the choice of a short walk (about 15 minutes with my two kids over one bridge) or a quick waterbus ride to the train station. We would definitely stay here again!
