The apartment is great - central enough to reach anywhere in Venice, but quiet enough to give you a well-earned break from the excitement.

'Cosy' make the place sound small - 'Comfortable' would be a better description. Shower, cooking facilities, beds, storage, etc are all excellent and the decor is what you'd hope for in a Venice pad. Carlo's Airbnb description and pictures are true to life. There's also an excellent supermarket just around the corner with a good deli and bakery sections for breakfast etc and the local restaurants are good.

The delightful apartment (with small balcony) overlooks a narrow canal, so you really know you are in Venice. And if you have the budget, you can get a water taxi to pick you up from outside and whisk you to your destination (you will need Carlo's ever-helpful caretaker cousin Susanna to book it for you - as she can explain to the company precisely where the apartment is located).

What's not to like? I'd book it again in a flash despite the lack of WiFi.
