We loved the decor in this place, lovely, kind of an Art Deco kind of feeling. Comfortable beds with extra blankets and pillows. Reading lamps in the bedroom which are very important to me, Livingroom had plenty of room for all of us to relax, with comfortable chairs. Great location, like 4 blocks from many food choices. Convenient shopping for both food, clothing and gifts. Also, Venice exchange rates were so high, but the local bank there had an ATM with low rates near the grocery. I'm not sure about the beach description though. The free beach was about a mile away. We never saw the private beach which is closed but perhaps that was the one that was 400 meters away. We loved the terrace but I was disappointed that there is a banner type thing all across the front of it which blocks the view of the canal unless you are standing up and looking over. I understand that it is for privacy but what is the point of a canal view that you cannot see?
Even though check in was later than our arrival, we were allowed to bring our luggage in and leave it until the apartment was ready. The person who checked us in very kindly loaned us her adapter so we could charge our phones as we are from the US and our plugs did not work. Very nice of her. The apartment was very quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
