The apartment was very clean, spacious and well-appointed, with thoughtful touches such as a bag of coffee, milk and a selection of breakfast items provided for us. The beds were comfortable and the showers in the two bathrooms had a decent volume/pressure of water. We enjoyed reading about the history of this historic palazzo: the communal areas were also very clean and well looked after. The location was excellent, with plenty of good restaurants, bars and shops nearby, and easy to get to the main tourist attractions such as St Marks and the Rialto Bridge as well as water buses etc. We enjoyed the view across the Venice rooftops and also of the Basilica. There was a lively bar nearby, but although we could hear it (we had the windows wide open) it did not disturb or keep us awake - it would be possible to shut the windows and use the air conditioning, if guests were concerned. Elena was a lovely host and checked that everything was ok. Thoroughly recommend.
