This was a great place to stay. We loved being in cannaregio, away from the tourist packed areas but lively and fun with great restaurants. Also so close to the orto station for the water buses. The apartment was great and spacious and had everything we needed. There is a grocery store across the canal (long narrow alley to get to it) and the other supplies were plentiful. We were comfortable and happy to be close but not too close to all the famous sights. Our favorite spots for views of the smaller canals were right in the neighborhood. Francesco was very responsive and patient when our train was delayed getting in.
