Great location, great apartment, great hosts. Just book it and be done with it. This location is nice because it is a short walk from the Disneyland like tourism of St Marks and such. You are in a real neighborhood, but close to everything. The bar around the corner is great and affordable with outside seating…popular with locals and friendly for tourists. We went every day. The apartment is great with two nice bedrooms and a large loft that works as a third bedroom. AC worked great which is key because Venice has mosquitos at night…keep those windows closed. Nice glimpse of Gardens out the window. Caroline was a wonderful host and took time to sit down with us and give some suggestions. Venice is all about being out and about, so unless you find a place with a crazy nice yard, or scenic balcony, I would call it good and go enjoy this place. We are in great shape so we just walked our family of five with our 9 year old from the train station.
