The location can't be beat. It is so close to the train station it was fantastic. Not having to walk farther with our bags down the crowded, bumpy streets was a lifesaver since it was raining the day we arrived. There is a small grocery store and great bakery basically right next door. And the view of the grand canal from the apartment is beautiful. Not everything was perfect though. The bathroom is a little tight and the shower was small. And there are four flights of stairs to the apartment so if you have big bags it is a bit difficult. But otherwise, the apartment is very spacious and the tips on good local places were great. I would definitely stay there again, especially if I don't have a huge bag to carry up and down the stairs.
