This is a wonderful apartment in a wonderful local neighborhood, Canareggio. The apartment itself is spacious, well laid out, and in an interesting old Venetian apartment building that is charming. We enjoyed opening the windows and watching life go by on the canal and streets below. Canareggio is not exactly central to most of Venice's attractions, but we enjoyed taking long walks through the alleyways and over all the little bridges, or the vaporetto, to the center of the city. It was worth the distance to be away from the touristy hub-bub among the Venetian residents. There are several great cafes, wine bars, ciccheti bars, and restaurants right outside the apartment. We would stay here again, and we hope to!
