How to describe this apartment? My 83-year old father described it well when he announced that he was never leaving the apartment and that anyone he loved could travel to Venice and visit him on the balcony.
The apartment is ideally located on the Grand Canal next to the Rialto bridge. An elevator provides direct access to the full floor apartment that overlooks the Grand Canal. It has two "wings" allowing for additional privacy for large groups (we needed the privacy from each other after traveling for two weeks together). The modern furnishings speckled with antiques worked surprisingly well. The bathrooms were modern and clean. We did not cook in the kitchen (used it only for wine and cheese prep), but it appeared to be well appointed. And, the balcony.... oh lord, what a view! That alone was worth the price of the apartment.
The staff were very accommodating and assisted us with an extremely early check-out on our final day in Venice. And, check-in was an absolute breeze.
I am trying to find a new reason to return to Venice and rent this apartment again.
