The canal is behind the apartment so right out the window you will see the water. The bed is big. There is all the needs for a long or short stay. We only had to buy food but all kitchen supplies are there and extra for even baking. It is not in the busiest part of town but not at all far from it. This is a factor that I really enjoyed because after being in crowds during these times .. space is a must. There are many places to eat and drink right downstairs and a big supermarket down the block. Everything you need is near, the motorboats do the rest. Our stop was not far and not always crowded. Trust me the crowds become an issue after awhile. I truly recommend this place. Thanks Gabriela
