This apartment worked well for our family of 4. The kids slept on the pull out sofa, which was made up for us when we got there. We made dinner in the kitchen, which was fine. Check in was a breeze - it was just a minute or two walk from the train station - very convenient. We left venice via the car rental area, which was just a 5 minute walk from the apartment. We thought the location was excellent! The apartment was clean. It is nice to do laundry in the apartment and have good afternoon sun come in the windows to help dry the clothes. The bed wasn't very comfortable (it could use a mattress topper so you don't feel the springs), but overall it was a very nice place.
