We loved our time in Venice and the apartment was in a really great spot that allowed us to be close enough to everything we wanted to see, but in a nicer, more quiet location just right on the water. If we needed a view we would have picked another location, but why stay in your apartment when all of the beauty of Venice is outside. Thomas was a great host and provided good information for us, even calling us a taxi to the airport. The space was well thought out and decorated nicely by his wife. Just the right amount of space for a couple. We have no complaints and would not hesitate to stay there again. Mahalo! :)
