Carla's place is GORGEOUS! It is just like the pictures and maybe better. So tasteful and chic! We loved the layout of the apartment and the best feature by far was the glass floor. Our kids (4&6) did not want to leave the floor and played legos, games, pokemon, colored, read and wrote postcards ONLY on the glass floor. They also loved being next to the canal and being able to say "Ciao" to the passing gondolas. The apartment was clean, perfect and had everything we needed. We loved that they composted, recycled and were environmentally friendly! Having the extra half-bath was also awesome for our family of 4. The location was ideal for us, not wanting to be in the center of tourists, with a great supermarket a few steps away, a Frulala bar for breakfast smoothies & bowls and to take out an extra adult beverage after the kids went to sleep. There was also the BEST gelato/granita place called Grom a few steps further (which obviously canceled out the calories - win win!). The only downside was that despite having the windows and doors closed, there seemed to be a lot of mosquitos coming into the apartment and we all woke up with some bug bites each morning. Otherwise, this apartment was a dream and we would definitely return!
