This was out first close experience of Cannaregio area (having previously stayed in Santa Croce) and we've really liked the area. The flat is very conveniently located on the quiet street, but close to everything: shops, supermarket, cafes, Vaporetto stop Ca' d'Oro and ferry stop Fondamente Nova from which you can catch boats to everywhere in the lagoon. The place itself is very compact, but does have all of the necessary amenities and well equipped kitchen. Small amount of sunlight (the flat is on the ground floor on a narrow street) might be an issue for some, but it does create a "Venetian atmosphere". If I could make any suggestion for improvement, I would recommend in the "TV room / kitchen" part of the flat to have more options for lighting (e.g. localised small lamps etc), as the currently exiting light is very bright, without any dimming options. But otherwise it is a lovely space, gives a real "homely feel", like you are staying in the friends house, rather then in some faceless hotel.
The communication with hosts was excellent, quick and very informative. Meeting and greeting by Luca was very welcoming and efficient. Thank you very much for our lovely holidays in Venice, we've enjoyed it very much!
