This is a lovely apartment with an amazing view of the canals. The host was informative and welcoming. We had an issue with the air conditioning not working so we had to sleep with the windows open and the canals are noisy and we suffered some mosquito bites so we didn't get much sleep. That is the only reason we wouldn't give this a five star. But if you are looking for somewhere with a great view and a great location right in the hussle and bustle of Venice as long as the air conditioning works I would recommend this apartment.
