This is a great apartment and we had a very nice stay. It has a lot of character and felt very homey. A few details that may be helpful:
—The apartment is about a 5 minute walk from the train station and the Vaporetto on the Grand Canal.
—The windows of two bedrooms, the living room and dining room all face a canal. The terrace, kitchen and one bedroom face the back of the apartment
—A short walking distance to restaurants, grocery store and shops
—A good 25 minute walk to the main tourist area, but the walk is fascinating. We walked everywhere and found many different ways to approach the apartment. It was a great way to get a good feel for the city. It is not a crowded area, but busy enough that it never feels empty.
—Very fun to see a working area with deliveries by boat during the day going down the canal
—The apartment is spread out so it is not cramped at all. We had plenty of room to plan our day together and then to chill out at night
—The rooms are bright and sunny
—The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, but small
—The washer, dryer and dish washer were a real help
—The books really give the place character
—The elevator is very nice to have
—The place looks just like the pictures.
I don’t hesitate to recommend this apartment to anyone, but especially to someone who would like to get away from the crush of the crowds.
