This is a wonderful and quiet spot amidst the craziness of Venice. It was a short walk to the grocery store, restaurants and all the main tourist sites but it was wonderful to return to an apartment with great A/C and peace and quiet at the end of the day. We got a private water taxi from the airport and Lionella (our host who is Venetian and who also lives in Canareggio) coordinated with the driver via phone where to drop us and then guided us to the apartment. She then spent about 30 minutes giving us advice, inside knowledge and the information we'd need to get around. The only improvement we'd recommend is to replace the sleeper sofa as it was so uncomfortable none of our party were willing to sleep on it. Great place for 4 people but not for 5.
