You will not find a better location in Venice. About 20 steps from a vaporetto stop and about 3 minutes from Rialto bridge. Being on the canal was great and it made for a nice place to lounge with a relaxing view in the afternoon. The building is hundreds of years old but the space is very modern and nice with modern bathrooms and appliances and even a washing machine. Christina was a wonderful host and took good care of us.
