It was a very nice apartment in a quiet neighborhood. We loved being right on the canal. Our favorite night was getting a spritz in the Jewish Neighborhood. We could feel the strong Venetian community there.
The only downside was navigating Venice! Every time we went out we got lost! It was pretty easy to get to the big tourist attractions because of the signs, but it was quite a challenge to find our place again each time we tried to get back home.
