This apartment was in a perfect location within short walking distances to historic sites, great restaurants, and transportation but just far enough away to be quite. The apartment is on the fourth floor with no lift, but the stairs were wide, well lit, and completely manageable (and we had two kids!) Because of it’s top floor location, the large balcony offers cool views of the surrounding buildings and canals. The balcony also has a large retractable awning making photos afternoons more pleasant when sitting outside. Gondolas sail right past the apartment so you can not only watch them from the terrace, but hear singers and accordion players when present. The apartment is spacious and looks exactly like the photos. There is a washer and dryer in the unit, which was great. Elisabetta was very proactive in texting me to coordinate meeting us when we arrived. She explained which boat line to take and where to meet her, which made things easy.
