My family of five adults had a wonderful stay in this spacious, comfortable apartment. Alberta was a gracious host. I agree with the dozens of appreciative reviews that this is a wonderful place to stay. Things you might want to know: just outside the door is a mass of tourists. I prefer staying deeper into the Castello neighborhood, where tourists are few and you get a feeling for what it might be like to live in Venice, however, for a group this is a terrific location for ease of access. You can always find your way back when you stay just next door to the Metropole on the Grand Canal. Once inside the massive door of the impressive 16th century palazzo(you get two sets of keys), you walk through a long, imposing entrance hall to a central, plant-filled courtyard, where you can look up to see the impressive structure. Unlock a second door and climb one flight to enter your apartment. The primary bedroom is huge and opens onto the silent courtyard. The smaller two bedrooms each open onto a canal, which gets occasional motorboat activity. The ceilings are high and the room proportions are impressive. The furnishings appear unchanged for decades and I was a little allergic, but most people will find it simply comfortable and unassuming. The price is exactly right.
