My time in Venice was magical. This beautiful 14th century home had a very authentic Venice vibe. All the windows open up to allow in fresh air and sun. The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave oven, refrigerator, dishware/cutlery, and even a laundry machine(soap provided) and hanging rack(behind the door.) The bedroom was comfortable and had plenty of storage for clothing. You have a safe private entrance in an alley right off the main road. The host/hostess that greeted me upon arrival were very kind and helpful. The only suggestion I have is to replace the shower head. It is clogged with mineral deposits. NOTE: The city of Venice is overwhelmed with tourists. I do believe this city is a treasure all should experience, but with the understanding that you must respect the people of Venice and their home. Be kind, be respectful........Peace
