This is a light and airy large apartment with all the necessary amenities, except soap. Although I was travelling alone, this spacious apartment could easily sleep 6 people. Safety and security was also not an issue. I felt very safe walking around the neighborhood. It was nice to come "home" to a calm and quiet part of the city. Everything you need is within close walking distance on Garibaldi - restaurants, groceries, pharmacy, bank, shops, etc. The water bus is a 5 minute walk away. Staying in this apartment, away from the hustle and bustle of tourists, allowed me to feel as if I was a Venetian, not just a visitor. I loved it!
