Had a very lovely stay here in Aug 2013.

Pros: LOTS!
1. very spacious, clean, and quiet
2. it was a warm Aug so we were very happy for the AC
3. Lorenzo was helpful and very nice
4. very glad to have the kitchen since we ended up cooking quite a bit since we weren't happy with the food quality in the Venetian restaurants.
5. Very close to several grocery stores (both a large super market with everything! and smaller ones)
6. Location was ideal - close enough to St. Marcos without being too close to all the heavy traffic.
7. Very thoughtful of Lorenzo to keep umbrellas near the front door. All airBnB hosts should have umbrellas available for their guests.

Cons:
1. Not really a con per se, just an fyi....the apt is up a flight of slightly narrow steps so if you're traveling with anyone with mobility issues, this could be a problem. It wasn't for us but thought other travelers should be aware.
2. washing machine was broken so we were unable to do laundry. This was a challenge since Venice was the 3rd city in our travels and we had been planning to do laundry when we got there.

All in all, a very nice time at this apartment and we would definitely stay again!

Grazie!
