We loved this apartment. The location was perfect - right on the canal, close enough to walk to the train & water transportation center, yet off the main tourist tract. The apartment was very clean and comfortable (living room had a leather recliner and a second recliner in one of the love sear sections which were very welcome after a long day of site seeing). The Venetian chandeliers and ceiling decorations were beautiful as was the master bedroom furnishings. Lots of good restaurants, bars, a grocery store and bakery close to the apartment. Mr. Doda was also very quick to respond to any inquiries..we will definitely be returning to Venice and can't wait to stay here again..
