We've always wanted to stay in the canals, and Kaj's place did not disappoint - it is smack in the midst of the incredible charm! Walking around the canal homes is a must-do while in Venice, and staying there is even more special. Kaj is an amazing host, he was extremely responsive and patient with all of our questions, and his place is super comfy. One thing to note - there is loud construction on the house across the way that starts at 7am and lasts all day (at least during the week), so bring earplugs and plan to get up early :)
