We chose this apartment because we knew it would be crowded during the Venice Film Festival. It really could not have been more perfect! We had a view of a quiet canal just five minutes from the water bus line. As a result, we didn't have to drag our luggage all through Venice. The apartment felt like home. It was quiet, clean, and ideal for my husband and me. We had all the amenities we needed and were able to enjoy a quiet, romantic breakfast before we tackled the sightseeing. (we found a market that was just a 3-minute walk) We were a short walking distance from San Marco Square and all the museums. And, being close to the water bus line, we could quickly grab a water bus to Murano and Burano. Also, we were just a few minutes of walking from some of the best restaurants that Venice has to offer. (Who am I kidding, Venice has ALL the best restaurants!) Contact with the management company was a breeze, and they helped us our first night when we couldn't figure out how to turn on the stove. :D We had hot showers, the bathroom and kitchen were perfectly stocked, and the washing machine came in handy! We really could not have picked a better place to stay in Venezia! We will definitely come back to the Canal Dream soon! Grazie Canal Dream!!
