It was a great location with a nice sized apartment! It's steps away from the regular tourist hubbub, meaning that you can easily walk to the top destinations while having a quiet and undisturbed night to recharge. The Cannareggio neighborhood is really cool, with some nice restaurants and businesses that aren't so touristy. There entry area in the building is a bit no frills, the hot water at the time was iffy, and the location of the patio is actually off of the bathroom in the central courtyard of the building, overlooking neighbor's patios and trash bags. The canal view is from the living room.
