Lovely, old, big apartment. Not a lot of amenities (no corkscrew?? In Venice??*). Bathroom, AC, and kitchen were a bit rustic, (if brand new appliances and such is your thing, you may want to keep looking),but there was plenty of room, the terrace is beautiful, the area is away from massive hordes of tourists but an easy 10-minute walk to all major sites. And our host was incredibly helpful. She answered all our questions about how to get around and how the holiday (Assumption, 15/08) might affect business hours. *(she even offered to bring us a corkscrew when we couldn't find one in the apartment.) Loft does have a low ceiling but it didn't bother our kids (13&15) at all. We enjoyed our stay very much. I
