We had a very pleasant stay, the view is marvelous and interesting watching gondolas, taxis and other boats managing the narrow channels. Only the restaurant below the apartment is very noisy when they start to clean up and move stuff at night, and boats can be noisy but who cares in that location? ;-) But otherwise we were overwhelmed by Paolo's nice hospitality, we even got cappuccinos on arrival and departure and they also take care of your trash which is very nice when you depart on Sundays (no trash boats around the location). We enjoyed the stay in the apartment.
