This apartment is a gem! Seriously: it was absolutely perfect -- it's quick to the airport (5 minute walk from the boat), the neighborhood is so charming (far away enough from the tourist crowds but still a quick walk or vaparetto to anywhere), the view of the canal is so beautiful it feels like a postcard, and it's completely modern and seemed newly renovated. And Sofia is such a wonderful host -- she left us fresh fruit, and the bathroom is stocked with lots of toiletries. Great wifi, too. There are lots of bakeries and grocery stores in the area, as well as restaurants that cater to locals. We feel very lucky to have stayed here on our first trip to Venice. I think I fell in love with the apartment from Sofia's photo of that view out over the canal, and after I'd booked so many people said to us, "you should definitely stay in Cannaregio!" We are so glad we did!
