This apartment is everything you could ask for to fulfill the 'Venice Canal Apartment' fantasy. We loved relaxing on the beautiful terrace and watching the boats and gondolas go by. Alas, while we were there, the apartment above was being renovated to the tune of CRASH! BANG! CRASH! SMASH! CLUNK! starting at 8am! When we told Paolo about it he offered to contact the owner and managed to negotiate a quieter morning for our last day. Mostly we managed by getting up and out to see the sights. Absolutely loved Venice and thought it was worth the trip!
