This apartment met all our expectations in terms of location and facilities. Well-equipped and well furnished with good facilities for cooking (should you feel the need). It really is a 5-minute walk from the Rialto and very well located for local restaurants, supermarket and cake shops! The view from the window is absolutely as pictured over the canal. This can be a little busy during the day as can the foot bridge with some noise from enthusiastic walkers, but then who would want to be inside during the day in Venice. However, the area falls virtually silent after sunset but with nightlife just a short walk away.
