I was extremely happy with this apartment and garden. It’s exactly as the ad showed. The garden looks beautiful from my window and was simple and enchanting Once downstairs in the garden. I basically had it to myself, there’s another unit that in theory shares it but I never saw anybody else. The one thing to keep in mind is that Venice is built on marshlands (lagoon), So there are quite a few mosquitoes. The host provided items within the apartment to repel the few mosquitoes that got in, but outside in the garden around sunset could be a bit impossible. Nevertheless that is Venice and I highly recommend staying in this apartment. The Costello is off the beaten path but close enough to San Marco Square.
