This was a very homey place to stay. Or perhaps more like a visit to grandma's house, a well lived in apartment with antique furnishings but not too precious (apart from the Venetian glass chandeliers). Beautiful garden view from most of the windows, on a nice quiet courtyard in one of the quieter corners of this bustling city. We enjoyed early morning strolls along the fondamenta, soaking in some rare local neighborhood activity. Kitchen and bath were good, beds comfortable, apartment very roomy for our family of five. We would love to return!
