We stayed in Venice during a very hot week. The AC is only in the living room. We made due and pulled our mattresses to the living room. I must mention it was the hottest days so far this summer. We spent 17 days in Italy. This was the cleanest place we had ever seen. The apartment was immaculate. It is close to the grande canal and water shuttles, yet in a quiet part of town. We were able to go to less touristy cafes and sit and walk the streets with locals. When on a vacation, escaping the crowds, but having convenience is incredible. I would have felt safe walking in this area alone at night. I would book this apartment again.
