This is a lovely apartment that is close to the water taxi drop-off and extremely easy to find, which is a plus in Venice. It is close to shopping along the Grand Canal, as well as easy access to other parts of the city due to its 5 minute walk to the water taxi. The canal view from right outside is awesome! The only drawback I found as an American was that the standard European adapters would not work on the plugs, which are apparently some older type unique to Italy. But overall, I loved staying in this apartment.
