We loved that this apartment was just far enough away from all the major tourist attractions that it was quiet and filled with locals. The apartment has everything you would need, including a washing machine, to make your stay in Venice comfortable. The air conditioning was a relief in the high heat of August! Technically, there is a view of a canal and bridge, but in order to see it, you would need to open all of the shutters, curtains, and windows, and lean out. For all practical purposes, the place has no view, which was fine with us. It is a cool and comfortable respite from the crowds!
