The apartment was lovely, large and comfortable with a view of a canal. You can watch the boats go by in the morning as you enjoy your breakfast or in the evening when you are taking a break from sightseeing. It apartment is perfectly situated, a short walk to St. Marks over the Accademia bridge and close to a grocery store. Ariella's friend, Giovanna was kind enough to meet us at the vaporetto stop and walk us to the apartment. She also took the time to go over a map of the are and point out interesting spots to go. She also offered us luggage storage if we needed after our checkout.
