The apartment is very new and clean and even bigger than you can see in the pictures! it was very clean and has lots of lights. it is in one area of Venice which is quieter than the crazy touristy area and in my opinion more beautiful. Has nice restaurants and cafes nearby as well. The supermarket is around the corner and there is a great kayaking place close by. Kayaking in Venice is quite an experience, you should try it! Massimo was a great host and took care of all our needs. There are a few stairs to get to the apartment, but if you are going to Venice stairs are a must anyway.
