We booked this place solely for the balcony and we weren’t disappointed. Except to avoid the heat, we sat out there a lot. We had some minor issues with the air conditioning the first night but it worked well our second night. The bed was more firm than preferred, but otherwise the place was comfortable and we had no issues with the water temperature in the shower. Very nice place and wonderfully secluded from the touristy areas! We felt like we got a taste of the “local’s” Venice.
