The location of this apartment was fantastic, with endless restaurant choices within minutes' walking distance. The canal right next to the apartment was apparently a favorite of the nearby gondoliers and we really enjoyed sitting on the terrace and listening to the banter and sometimes the singing of the gondoliers passing by regularly. The terrace was high enough that we felt plenty of privacy while still benefitting from the nearness of the canal activity. After four nights in Rome and four nights in Florence, this quietness of this apartment was very much appreciated! We were a little concerned about the lack of an elevator for this apartment, but once our bags were all upstairs, we found that the stairs were entirely worth the effort. Annalisa, who met us at check in, was extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations and helped us with setting up our transportation to the airport, which wasn't an easy one since we needed to leave for the airport at 3:45 a.m.!
