The apartment is as shown in the listing - bright and cheerful with everything necessary for an easy, enjoyable stay. As mentioned, it's on a canal - it's a busy, working canal so at times it can be quite noisy - but these are Venetian canal noises, so part of the whole experience. I have now been in five Airbnb apartments in Venice and this one is the nicest - mainly due to it being so light. In future, if I return to Venice, I will be looking for something on the first floor, like this one. Maria was communicative, organised, friendly and helpful. All in all a lovely stay.
