We were met at the water vaparetto stop which is a flat 5 minute walk to the apartment. We loved this apartment which was huge and a magnificant view down one of the small canals with gondalas regularly cruising up and down (magic). It' a great neighbourhood with good restaurants and cafes very near by. We mainly caught the vaparettos up and down the main canal. We would definetly recommend this apartment for a family (we are a family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers).
