Venice is a very old city, so it makes sense that the flat would reflect that theme. Floors are a terrazzo-type, showing some age. No air conditioning, but a fan was provided. Internet worked well. The room we rented (glass door on right as enter) was small, with the roomy bed taking up most of the space. The bathroom is small, works well, but is shared if there are guests in the other room. Vaporetto (water bus) stop is very close; walking to popular tourist areas (San Marco, Accademia Square) took us about 20-25 mins. Dishes and pans for cooking are provided; our first experience with an electric kettle to heat water for coffee/tea - fast! Front door is halfway up first flight of stairs on right (we missed it the first time).
