Great location! Easy to get to vaporetto or walk to main sites. It was cool to have the window onto the canal, but the apartment is a right at a canal intersection so the gondolieri call out to let others know they are coming. Not a huge deal. Because the unit is on the first level and right on the canal, we encountered a lot of ‘water flies.’ They didn’t cause any harm, but definitely made the place feel less clean than it actually was.
