I’m not sure you can beat the location with this flat. It is just a short walk to the water where all the gondolas are, and it’s also an easy walk to St Mark’s Basilica. There was also no shortage of food and shopping right outside the flat. Overall, I would say the location is the best feature about this flat.
A few things to note that we discovered upon arriving:
1) There is a required “head count fee” of 2€ per person per night.
2) The host requires a photo of all the guests’ passports.
3) There were not very many outlets inside the bedroom as many of them were being used by the fans provided in the room that were very necessary (it was hot and humid in Venice when we arrived).
4) There is limited shampoo, conditioner, and soap (2 small packs of shampoo/conditioner, and 3 packs of bar soap), so it is better to bring your own shampoo/conditioner and soap if possible.
5) There are pretty steep stairs to reach the flat, about 2 flights’ worth, so be prepared to lift your luggage. (It’s definitely good exercise to go up and down the stairs!)
Other than that, we found our stay quite enjoyable as we could easily drop by the flat to drop off things we bought or use the restroom since it was in such a great location. Once you are prepared for the things listed above, Nikos’s flat is really a great choice to stay in Venice.
