In a quiet street between the Castello and San Marco districts, this apartment is located within a historic building. While the home is compact and has low ceilings, it certainly has charm and character. The open living and bedroom spaces merge – so this home may be best suited to families with older children. Fancy some fresh air? Where better to have a negroni, than on the communal terrace overlooking the canal? With plenty of restaurants within walking distance – you'll have lots of choices. That said, the supermarket is just a two-minute walk away, so you can brush up on your pasta skills.

Home truths:
*This home is located on the second floor with no lift and shares an entrance with the building's other residents
*This home may be better suited to early risers – there are no blackout blinds
*There are low ceilings and beams in the master bedroom
*The bedrooms in this apartment are part of the open-plan space, and can’t be closed off – this home may be better suited to families with older children
*There is access to a communal terrace with outdoor seating – the terrace is not directly connected to the apartment
*Though there's enough bed space for four people here, we'd recommend a maximum guest count of three – at full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area
*Hen and stag parties are not allowed
