This is a terrific apartment in a prime location. The alley is very quiet with only the gondolas passing outside the windows. There are two good beds here. We opted to sleep on the pull out couch after the first night (closer to the bathroom). This was 'hands down' the most comfortable pull out couch bed (queen) I've ever used. Turnkey apartment with quick access to restaurants, grocery store, shops, etc within steps. Nothing beats staying in the heart of the city...you save so much valuable time and hassle with the water taxis and buses getting on/off the island This will be our 'go to' apartment for Venice.
