This was an absolutely perfect place for us. We are traveling for the year, and some places don't quite live up to the pictures, and some places do. This place was better than the pictures. The location couldn't be better. We were only a block or two from San Marcos square, but because we were at the end of a street along a canal, it was very quiet. The only thing we heard was the back-canal traffic. So gondoliers going by (sometimes with a guitar and singer, sometimes with an accordian—beautiful) and some guys delivery fish and restaurant supplies or construction materials. It is VERY spacious, with Murano glass light fixtures everywhere, and we were in absolute heaven.
