Absolutely loved the place!! In terms of location, you can hardly beat this loft. The neighborhood is absolutely safe and we felt comfortable walking around 1 am.
Nikita was great - Hosts like him are the reason we prefer the Airbnb experience over hotels. In addition to absolutely making sure that our stay was comfortable, he gave us great insights on local attractions and restaurants.
A few minor things worth noting:
1. If you are looking for a silent place, this location will not suit you. You don't get silence right where the action is..
2. This loft, though quite private, has a glass door and the upstairs area can be accessed without a key. You can, of course, lock the glass door. This was never a concern for us and we did not have anyone coming upstairs either.
3. The only thing that did bother us, ever so slightly, were the stairs. You need to take 4-6 flights of stairs to get to your cozy loft and if you are planning on getting in and out many times, it can quickly get a tad tiring. This still did not change our overall experience at the loft. If we are coming back to Venice, this is where we would look to stay.
