Ermanno's place is very central and an easy place from which to explore Venice. The apartment was larger than we expected however we had a few problems with the shower as only the hand held section was working, not the overhead. The shower also lacked walls/curtains so be prepared for the bathroom to get a little wet. We also had problems with the internet not connecting. Other than that, the apartment is spacious and the bed was comfortable. The ghetto was just back from the main street so shopping and restaurants are at your fingertips. Ermanno supplies little extras such as coffee and tea which is a nice touch. Overall, I would recommend this apartment for a short stay in Venice.
