Great way to experience Venice like a Venetian. The kitchen/living area is right on the canal which creates a great ambiance as the gondoliers pass by, some singing or with a guitarist on board. Arriving and departing by water taxi was very convenient as the Corte Minnelli stop is just outside the apartment. The apartment is a 10 minute walk to St. Marks, Rialto or Academia making it very convenient for most sight seeing.
