An amazing location, right on the Grand Canal -which is a busy canal 24 hours a day. It's great to have a close up view of the boats during the day, but it does make it a little noisy during the night if you're in the front bedroom. (Thankfully my friends had earplugs so they slept well!) The back bedroom overlooking the courtyard was very peaceful in comparison. The apartment is stunning and it was a privilege to stay there. I would happily go back there again. Great facilities in the flat and a perfect location in a quiet, residential area but close to many great bars and restaurants. Thanks to our hosts recommendation we ate very well at the nearest restaurant when we arrived on the first night. Loved everything about Venice, can't wait till the next time!
