We LOVED our stay in Venice—winter is the time to go, people! Temperature was very comfortable and the streets were uncrowded. If you're staying in Venice for at least a few nights, you're making the right move—it's quite different in the evening after the day trippers leave, even in winter. (This apartment was great. Fantastic location—cannot overstate how great it was to have Pasticceria Tonolo right downstairs. Absolutely delicious and remarkably cheap. Inside stairs to get to the apartment are a little rough right now, but doesn't affect enjoyment of the apartment at all, which is very pretty and clean. Great shower and plenty of hot water. Nice kitchen. Had a great stay.
