Wonderful stay!
Location: several cafes, restaurants, grocery store, specialty stores, vaporetto Line 1 nearby. We enjoyed the hum of the very few boats in the canal below and the proximity to observe daily life on the water. The apartment: well appointed with sufficient kitchen-ware and linens, without being cluttered. Bright and cheerful. The balconies are a delight. Shutters, black-out blinds, and sheer curtains on all the windows provide all options of light vs dark, quiet vs neighborhood sounds. Host: Maria was very accommodating to our arriving an hour late due to delayed train, then, recognizing that we were exhausted hungry and thirsty, personally walked us to a delightful local restaurant where we were treated like old friends. Highly recommend. re: temperature and bugs, Maria provided a fan upon our request, and we used the plug-in mosquito deterrent. But yes, understandably, be prepared as mosquitoes do live around water!
