This place exceeded our expectations in every way. Our 10th trip to Venice found us with five people in this expansive and spacious and bright apartment in an ideal location, part of a historic palazzo overlooking a quiet and tranquil garden. Outside the apartment door and 10 steps to the right, and you're standing on a dock on the Grand Canal, watching vaporettos and gondolas and water taxis roll on by. It's just a short walk to the Accadamia Bridge, and the Giudecca Canal, and all of Venice is accessible from one or the other. Check-in was a breeze, responsiveness of staff unparalleled. All in all, a magical location from which to spend time exploring Venice.
