The best view of the Grand Canal from a comfy and tastefully appointed sitting room was our favorite aspect but the water taxi dock right by our front door was incredibly helpful and the location is near to everything a visitor to Venice could ever want or need! The host family was such a delight to meet and they were incredibly willing to assist with recommendations and coordination of transportation ( it was our first visit to Venice and we had a lot to learn!) . The apartment was beautiful and very very clean. The beds were comfortable too. We really hope to return and stay longer next time!! ( perfect for two couples traveling together as we were).
