Ombra's place is exactly how it's described! The location in Venice is great, the apartment itself is cute, comfortable and very functional. Ombra was very accommodating and gave us instructions on how to get there, and met us at the boat dock. She even allowed us to check out later so we could leave the bags in the apartment for a few more hours. Also the stairs are nearly not as bad as described (don't be scared of stairs). Would definitely recommend!
