The neighborhood was fantastic. I would stay in this area any time. Easy access from water bus. Great shops and restaurants in this area. But, the outside photo does not show the apartment, which is in the attic and up several flights of stairs. The last flight of stairs is narrow and steep. It's very cute, rustic and large. But it is an old apartment and cluttered. The kids loved the inside swing. There is no A/C and after a long day of sightseeing in the heat it would have been nice to have a cool apartment to rest in. Opening the windows for the breeze would have been ok except for the mosquitoes. There was a small fan in each sleeping area. We asked for additional ones but none were available, causing it to be uncomfortable to sleep because the windows had to be closed. I liked the size of the apartment and the old world charm and would probably recommend staying here again, especially because of the location but if I return to Venice I will look for somewhere that has either A/C or screens on the windows. The mosquitoes were terrible and all 7 of us were covered in bites.
