This is a truly wonderful location on the Grand Canal. We greatly enjoyed the one-of-a-kind view, the central location that made walking around Venice easy, and the convenience of the vaporetto stop literally outside the apartment's door. The only small thing was the heavy boat traffic outside early in the morning - supplies for the local businesses get loaded in and out at the same dock area - that can impact any light sleepers on the sofa beds at the front of the apartment (the back bedroom is well-insulated and you couldn't hear a thing from there, but the sofas are a bit closer to the action outside). But that's truly a small concern compared to the apartment's location and amazing view.
Giancarlo met us right at the door, even though our train was 30 minutes late getting in. The apartment itself was well-appointed with everything to make your stay comfortable. I would definitely stay here again if given the chance.
