This is a really lovely apartment, in an excellent location - easy walking distance to the Rialto etc., and with a vaporetto stop by the doorstep, to get you wherever you want to go. The front room can be noisy, and when the curtains are open passers-by can see in - but the view is spectacular, as you watch the traffic go by on the Grand Canal. The furnishings are basic, the draw of the apartment is the view. The bedroom, which is in back, is dark - but you won't be spending time there, other than to sleep. There are good restaurants in the immediate area, and a grocery, etc. We were a couple with small children, and found the space plenty large, did not use the pull-out sofas in the front rooms. The kitchen is basic, but enough to make coffee or a toast. All in all, highly recommended.
