The place was in a great location with a balcony on the Grand Canal. This alone gives it 5 stars. The hosts were really nice and responsive. Downside, the air conditioning is average, the water pressure is poor, and the washer broke down. Pretty good shape a comfortable for a 500+ year old building unless one a real picky whiner type.... remember it has a great balcony on the Grand Canal so it still gets five stars.
