This place was in a fantastic location. It could not have been more perfect. Right next to a bakery, a wonderful restaurant, a pizzeria and a mini market. All of this but still quiet and off the beaten path- a wonderful neighborhood to get lost in. We were a group of seven so it was a little cramped. I guess the biggest downside was the AC. There is no AC in the comunal space (kitchen and dining area) do cooking was completely out of the question. Because we were such a large group I booked airbnbs so that we could have several meals at home. We are from New Orleans so we understand summer heat but this was awful. The ACs in the smaller bedrooms seemed to work ok, but the one in the larger bedroom was not able to cool it off. Fortunately Venice is so beautiful that this is easily overlooked! And the pros of the place definitely outweigh the cons.
