Thank u Maurizio for your help with the Internet, transport advice and also getting rubber boots for us bc we were concerned about the floods. Apartment is in a very convenient neighborhood and is at the water bus stop. Apartment overlooks a small canal (not the Grand Canal) where you can see gondolas passing below. If there is a negative, the apartment is a little dark because of its proximity to the neighboring buildings. But that said, the overall experience was great and we would stay there again.
