The loft apartment was exactly like the pictures. All of the other reviews were spot on. The location was just off the main tourist spots so you were able to blend in and enjoy some great local neighborhood bars and restaurants. Then you can walk to the busy shopping and tourists hot spots in short order. Loved the place, location and VENICE. One of the neatest, if not the neatest, city I've been to. Will be back and Milena provided soooo much helpful information in her book at the apt. Thanks for making it such a great trip! The Moore Family
