If you are going to Venice, stay here. If you did not intend to go to Venice, do, and stay here. The loft was exquisite. The location was perfect. Close enough so that dining, shopping, sightseeing were minutes away, but far enough away to enjoy peace and tranquitly and through the open doors watch the watercraft go by on the canal. As far as amenities and instructions and helpful notes, Milena thought of everything. We will return to Venice, and when we do, I hope this wonderful loft will be available. No hidden messages in this review, it was perfect.
