Sergio and Loretta's apartment was perfect. In particular the location was great, away from the tourist hordes but still close to everything. The view from the apartment was especially good. And it was so quiet during the night, no noise at all. Sergio recommended a restaurant which we went to. It was relatively inexpensive but the food was great and it was full of other Italians so must be good! There was a bar called the corner pub that was just at the end of the canal which was also really good. The Accademia stop for the water bus is only a few minutes away where the bridge over the main canal is. The beds were really comfortable, the kitchen was modern and had everything you need to eat in of an evening. All in all it was a great apartment. Thanks Sergio!
