This is a stunning apartment, on the top floor of an old palace, and it is in the perfect location. It also has a lovely gated garden at the entrance. We were there in the winter, but we all imagined how beautiful the trees and rose garden would be in the summer. The local markets are easy to navigate, there are plenty of good restaurants close by, and the view out the windows at night, overlooking the Grand Canal, is absolutely magical. Also, there is boat stop right around the corner when you want to explore the city. This is an exceptional value for the price, and Valeria, the host, lives in the building and is terrific.
