We very much enjoyed our stay at Canal View. The unit is huge (!) with more than enough room for our group of four adults and two small kids. It is a nice mix of old Venetian charm, canal views but with modern conveniences. Strategic location in Cannaregio- just a 10 min walk to train station (or short Vaporetto ride) and easy access to all the major sites. In the evening, it's quiet and not crowded. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Communications were great. Check-in and check-out was super easy and Paolo was a very organized and attentive host.
