This was the perfect place for us in Venice! Riccardo met us in the square and showed us to the door. The unit is up one flight of stairs from street level. Riccardo left us the most amazing list of restaurant recommendations, complete with his own take on the price of each restaurant and the friendliness of the staff. We ate at a different spot from his list each night.
The place is large for Venice and has three comfortably-sized bedrooms. The unit is air conditioned, however despite the heat we rarely turned the A/C units on. The apartment is well-shaded and keeps cool even in this record heat.
The listing mentions that only the master bedroom has air conditioning, however the second a/c unit is mounted in such a way that it blows directly into the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms from the hallway. It's easy to keep the whole place cool even in the worst heat.
The unit is only several minutes walk from some of the largest attractions in the city! What a great place to stay.
