We have traveled to Europe many times and have become accustomed to the differences between European and North American accommodations. Having said that, our group of 10 was thrilled with this expansive apartment! There was plenty of space to gather as a group. Whether we were relaxing in the living room or gathered around the table for morning breakfast or nightly card games, there was plenty of seating and lots of space. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also clean and spacious. The location is fantastic... only minutes from Rialto or San Marco and we loved having the Palazzo Contarini Bovolo right next door... what a sight!
