The views from this apartment really are as good as they look. We spent hours just watching the boat traffic and gondolas pass by, a huge highlight of our trip.
Being just off the main route to the station, the alley way to the accommodation was edgy, but endearing. I think usually the apartment would be very quiet, as it's set back and the canal noise can't really be heard when the windows are closed. However, during our stay, building work was going on lower down in the building below us. Unavoidable, but very noisy! Fortunately they kept the work to 8.30-5 and it was quite interesting watching some of the building materials arrive by boat on the canal.
The space was stunning and the air con was great and a huge relief in the August heat. Communication with the hosts was quick and to the point.
Generally the accommodation was clean, we reported something that was missed and the hosts were quick to offer for the cleaning team to return the following day.
Minor disappointments were the lack of any coffee making facilities, no cleaning cloths or products (as mentioned in other reviews) and the fact that some things were not as pictured - the kitchen door to the back balcony was permanently locked and the sofa and chair set for relaxing on the balcony were totally missing.
But the views, great location, comfortable beds and air con were what we booked this apartment for - and they didn't disappoint. I would recommend and book again next time we are in Venice, just on the basis of the bedroom views alone.
