The apartment location was fantastic - in a quiet residential location away from the touristy foot traffic but still in walking distance to most things for our family. The apartment was sparkling clean and comfortable for our family of 4 (with 2 teenage boys). It was nice having a separate dining room/kitchen to sit down to breakfast together comfortably. There are no views but if you are into privacy it is wonderful since the place has air conditioning (so you need to keep windows closed anyway) which is a must in Venice in the summertime!
