This is a great way to see Venice-the apartment is close to everything yet in a more residential area so you are off the main drag. Restaurants and shops are literally steps away. Nice apartment, clean & modern. The street noise off one bedroom was a little loud but not a huge deal. And yes, the bathroom smell is bad but it's a bathroom..and I think the pro's of this great apartment outweigh that. Hopefully they are fixing it anyway. Nice people and easy check in.
