We loved stay at Chiara's apartment. The location right near the Rialto bridge but in a relatively private near by square was perfect. Chiara's husband met us at the boat exactly as planned. They were available for assistance throughout our time there (although we didn't need much). View of the canal from the 2nd bedroom was very cool. Loved the restaurant downstairs. Apartment was exactly as I imagined it would be. There is some noise from the restaurant below but the shutters do a good job of shutting it out. Would absolutely recommend staying here. We loved it.
