Our three day stay in Venice was great. Beatrice's loft was a very functional, very clean and cool haven to come back to after a long, hot walk in August. It is on the ground floor of an old building on a narrow canal and therefore somewhat dark. But the neighbourhood is really charming. The flat is only a two minute stroll away from the beautiful Campo dei Miracoli with its gorgeous Renaissance church, a tree (a rare thing in Venice) and a nice ice cream palor. A supermarket is a convenient five minute walk away and a bakery just around the corner.

We really enjoyed seeing lots (!) of gondolas go by our living room window while we were eating lunch. We also had fun having a glass of wine on our tiny terrace on the canal watching the gondolas.

The hand-over with Larissa (Beatrice's friend) worked quite well.
