A lovely apartment overlooking the Grand Canal as advertised. Plenty spacious, sleeps 5 comfortably, a beautifully remodeled kitchen and just steps away from a water taxi if needed as well as restaurants, shopping, etc. We were in Venice in early July and it was very hot yet the AC in the apartment kept the apartment plenty cool. One note regarding the bedrooms. The front room does have windows overlooking the Grand Canal which means you do pick up some noise from boat traffic morning, afternoon and at night, though not horrible. But if you have lite sleepers might want to move them to one of the other bedrooms. Francesca's a wonderful host, made sure we knew exactly how to navigate the water bus upon arrival and arranged an early am water taxi pickup to the airport on the day of our departure. Wouldn't hesitate staying here again next time we visit Venice.
