This flat is unbelievable. It overlooks a canal right off the Grand Canal. Large picture windows that open to allow in fresh air. It is within the walking distance of the train station, the water taxi and the taxi stand. Close to restaurants, grocery store and coffee. Safe and secure area. Be advised that it is up 3 flights of stairs. Worth it, but important to know. Michele is a great host. I messed up our reservation and we arrived a day early. He met us at 8 PM and helped us get a hotel for the night. Then he met us the next morning and walked us to the flat. I am so very grateful for the help. Flat has everything you need, including a full sized fridge, full sized stove and even a washing machine.
