Had been to Venice previously. Greta's place made this the best visit to date. I feel like I 'know' Venice a bit better having stayed at Greta's. The location, the ground floor access, pet-friendly policy were parts of the reason why. We had a very cool dining experience at the small restaurant which is literally steps from the apartment. Two things to note: 1. the TV is across the room diagonally from the sofa and the dining table is in between. We didn't watch TV. 2. The bed frame has some wiggle to it, fine for sleeping but a bit noisy with repetitive mattress-based movements.
