The aprtment of Carlo is in a perfect position for exploring Venice. Cannareggio is a very lively area full of good restaurants, close to the train station and well connected also to The airport and the islands.
We found the apartment very clean and well equipped. Especially, the kitchn,/eating and sitting area is not very cozy...on the other hand one does not go to Venice to sit at home...
Only, real negative aspect is that the bed room is fairly noisy, possibly due to the retaurant next door which stays open quite long at night...
