We had a great stay at this great location apartment. Don't judge a book by its cover - the outside and entrance looks 'sad' but the apartment is updated, clean and all you need for a great stay in Venice. Great location close to the ferries and morning coffee spots too. yes there are some stairs, but not too bad. Gracious and helpful host when I messed up my checkout date, it was all my fault, and assisted me in a new location for my last night in Venice. thank you, hope to stay again!
