Getting back to the apartment requires a lot of turns and a few times doing it to get comfortable with it but that is because the apartment is in a dead end corner. However, when you stand at the corner windows facing the canals the view is better than the photos and I could watch all the different size boats negotiate the corner all day long. I took many videos of them doing it. WiFi works well. Take advantage of the stovetop coffee maker to make some good Italian coffee. Great location for taking the boat to the airport. (Shortest route from Venice). And only a 5 minute walk to the dock for getting all around Venice and to the other islands ( Murano and Burano etc). We were having trouble with our phone when we got off the boat from the airport trying to figure out how to get to her apartment and then Poalo walked up to us to bring us there. Made our day. She took the time to answer all our questions and when we needed more info answered us quickly. We spent 3 nights there but wished we spent more time in Venice. Ciao Dave
