The Melusina Budget apartment had many positive features, including clean rooms, kitchenette, washer and dryer, and great location. Most places in Venice are more expensive than Melusina Budget, especially for an apartment, so the value is excellent. It would have been nice to have more than two towels available for my 4-night stay, but perhaps I was expected to wash and reuse them. Andrea was quick to respond to my email messages, and he sent a worker over to get the stove working when I could not light the burners. When not cooking in the apartment, there are many good places to eat within a short walk. I highly recommend a visit to the Church of San Giovanni e Paolo which is located very close to the apartment. It's inexpensive and contains some fantastic Venetian art and architecture from several centuries.
