Beautiful apartment on the canal - we couldn't beat sitting out the window with a cup of tea watching the gondolas go by each morning!
The apartment was in the quiter area of Cannaregio - for us this was a huge positive. The area was less busy, much cheaper food (and aperols ;)) and less of a tourist trap. It was a couple of minutes walk from a lovely coffee and coissant shop and the same distance to a supermarket. It's about a 12m walk to Rialto Bridge and the grand canal and a little further to St marks Square. It's a beautiful walk over little bridges and canals with plenty of gelato and bakeries to pass.
Petra, our host, was amazing with communication. She gave recommendations to restaurants and with the best way to get from the airport to the apartment (a 20 minute coach and 18 minute walk)
She also left coissants, jams, and water in the apartment and gave us a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate my partners birthday - a really kind touch.
thank you!
