This apartment has a good view of the canal and it is in a good location near the square. But, we did have a hard time with the old lock on the apartment door. We contacted Andrea and he said he took a look and but said it needs changing since it's old. I hope he will actually do that. It never worked on the first try and was frustrating. Also, the bed is HORRIBLE. It is the base of a box spring, not a real mattress. You can feel every spring and it is very hard. Andrea was quick with responses when we needed.
