The apartment is large, simply and elegantly furnished and quiet, with views of the canal and the garden. Niki is friendly, helpful (answers email in a flash) and upbeat. It's wonderful to be so near the beautiful church of Santa Maria Miracoli and a pleasure to walk through the piazza Santa Marina. Niki has a folder with good suggestions for restaurants and knows the neighborhood really well. She pointed us to a great bakery and said she could direct a water taxi to a pick-up point right near the house. Ca' Zacco was worth every penny!
