Venice is a MUST if visiting Italy. It's such a different place than anything in the world and we were pleasantly please to have Grazia's place to call home.
The apartment was clean and more spacious that I thought it would be. The terrace is a great added bonus. Grazia was welcoming, easy to communicate with and very friendly.
The apartment is on a canal that gondolas boat down and it was a nice surprise to hear them singing every morning (not to early, around 10:00am or so).
The apartment is an easy 10 minute walk to San Marco so you can simply step into the tourist areas with no troubles but you are still just out of way for the noise and foot traffic. Best of both worlds!
I would highly recommend Grazia's place if deciding to visit Venice!
