We had an excellent stay here. The apartment is very close to the train station and the grand canal, and a short walk from most of the major sites, including the Rialto and St. Mark's square. It's also very close to lots of very nice restaurants, including a small cafe and a lovely outdoor bar right around the corner from the apartment that were always very lively with customers. The location is perfect, close to one of the few bridges over the Grand Canal, so it's very easy to go from one section of the city to the other, without having to ride the water bus. The unit is very clean, and the hosts were very accommodating with us, as we arrived earlier than our scheduled check in. They let us store our luggage so we could explore some of the city prior to checking in.
