David's flat is in a wonderful location, with easy access to great bars, great restaurants, two vaporetto stops, a decent-sized supermarket and two lovely churches - San Sebastiano and Angelo San Raffaele - just minutes away. It's a lively but not too touristy area. The apartment is very well equipped - especially the kitchen - and beautifully decorated and furnished. The bookshelves are chock-a with great Venice books, plus there are lovely CDs and DVDs. It was warm enough at the end of April to sit outside the flat by the canal - lovely to have the chairs by the front door to put out in the courtyard. All the communication in advance was great - friendly, informative and prompt. We'd definitely recommend the apartment.
