Had a lovely stay in Venice. Flat Penelope is probably most comfortably suitable for 5 persons. The sofa bed is in the kitchen and quite inconvenient. Location is quite nice but be prepared to walk and get lost very often returning to the Flat, which is actually quite fun. When arriving in Venice, make sure to get the Water Bus and do not attempt to walk like we did, as it is approx 25 minutes away and we had to climb so many steps with our suitcases to cross over the canal bridges. Quite an exhausting walk. We met with Luisa sister who spoke good English and was very helpful. The air conditioning is very noisy so we had to turn it off at night. There are lots of supermarkets close by which is great as the flat is very well equipped for cooking. Neighbours are a little unfriendly so make sure you keep your little ones quiet. We loved Venice and its wonderful shops. Think carefully before buying a 3 day water bus pass as often it was quicker to walk.
