We have visited this apartment before and it is a very special place because of its proximity to the real Venetian way of life. Look out the window to a small canal with a bridge and passing gondolas and boats, walk into the nearby piazza to watch the locals enjoying the space with their children, buy food at the many local shops and coop or eat at one of the restaurants, be amazed at the variety of small specialty shops or catch the nearby ferry to anywhere you want to go. The apartment is indeed a magical place to stay, with everything you could need including a welcoming bottle of prosecho and a warm welcome from Christine. Try it and you won't want to leave.
