First, I should say that we really enjoyed our stay at this very nicely decorated and functional apartment. The person checking us in was very good, and did her best to answer our questions. The problem was that the listing called this a "Grand canal Love Nest, and suggested that "It's possible to use the Grand Canal view". The pictures showed a nicely laid out table with chairs on the small dock. My mistake was thinking this dock was actually connected to the apartment, and I was looking forward to morning breakfasts and evenings relaxing on that dock watching the grand canal. The reality is that the dock was not attached to our apartment, it was through a passageway with a locked door, and I was told the only access was a one hour "apertif" that would be served us our second night there between 6-7 PM. That's it. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement, and that is really the only reason I gave this listing a lower score. I chose this apartment mostly because of my assumptions (based on my reading of the listing) on how much I'd be able to use this dock. This listing is close to the Grand canal, but you really won't be seeing it or have access to it except for that one time unless they make changes.
All that said, we really liked that apartment, and if we hadn't had those expectations coming in, we would have been very happy with our choice, and would have recommended it to others.
