Perfect combination of modern and old world - ancient wood beams and angled ceilings with modern plumbing, lighting and heating. The roof terrace was a big surprise, and offered 360 degree views of Venice. We were there in February, and would have spent more time on the terrace had it been warmer. The location was perfect off of Campo Santa Margherita. A grocery store (Punto) is just off the square, and there are stands in the square selling fresh vegetables and seafood. Maria Chiara gave us the great suggestion of going to the Venice Jazz Club a few streets from the apartment. If you like Miles Davis and his contemporaries, this place will not disappoint. Maria Chiara was lovely and helpful. We will definitely be back.
