We loved the apartment and the area which is full of interesting history. Although we are an older couple the apartment is only on the second level and we had no problem with the stairs. The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was a beer and a bottle of water in the fridge when we arrived. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the street and the boats on the canal below. Carmen responded within hrs of our questions. The family down stairs were helpful when we could not get the hot water turned on and they solved the problem in minutes. They looked after our luggage after we checked out until we collected it to go to the airport.The boat stop is only steps from the apartment and it is easy to get to the train station for day trips. There are shops nearby which had all we needed and great restaurants close by. We could find nothing negative to say about the apartment or our stay in Venice.
