Wow! To be on the Grand Canal was a treat. The benefit of the location is that it provides all things Venice, but also forces one to know Venice better due to it not being located in the most visited areas. This was our second trip to Venice and now realize the benefits of being removed from the crowds, yet having it all within reach.
The unit is truly well refurbished and designed. We could not have been treated better or felt more comfortable with our hosts or the apartment. We felt privileged by both.
