Overall this was a good stay. Venice was experiencing warmer weather than usual and the air conditioning had already been shut off and heat turned on (it's the same in Germany, maybe all of Europe?). It was quite hot at night and the mosquitos were too bad to keep the windows open. This was not the hosts fault. However, if you have problems with being hot, definitely bring a small travel fan! The location was good for staying out of the tourist area. A market was nearby to grab some wine and basic groceries. A good selection of restaurants was nearby, also. A travel crib was provided for my son which was appreciated. The address given took us to the water taxi stop, then we had to use the directions given to get to the apartment from there, so I definitely recommend taking the water taxi from the train station because we walked and with Google Maps taking us out of the way, we were miserable by the time we arrived with all of our luggage.
