This apartment right on the canal is beautiful. We loved eating our breakfast while watching boats and gondolas go by. The neighborhood was perfect — close to the main tourist sights but not so busy and good local restaurants. Valeria was the perfect host! She was great at communication, and she even met us at the vaporetto stop to walk us to the apartment, show us how things work, and provided a map where she showed us her favorite restaurants and how to get around. I can’t recommend Valeria and the apartment on the canal enough. We are so sad to leave and would love to stay again!
