It really is a fantastic place. Every detail is both functionally perfect and aesthetically pleasing. Hearing the canal lap against the side of the building below is like a dream. The location is excellent, the neighborhood is excellent, and Luisa is very sweet. A dream host. I had many changes to my schedule and arrived late, and still Giovanni (Luisa's husband) met me at the station, brought me to the apartment, and showed me all the important details. He gave me information about the neighborhood (shops nearby). I was able to purchase a wifi pass from a local provider and it worked pretty consistently, so that was not an issue. If you're thinking about staying here, DO IT! :)
