We planned our first family trip to Italy and we started in Venice. First of all, the location is great. Its a 10 min walk from the train station. Plus, it's walking distance from great stores and restaurants. In terms of the location, its spacious. The rooms are big and the kitchen was stocked which was helpful. The only thing to be aware of is that you do need to climb up some stairs since its located on the second/third floor. Besides that, it was great. I would highly recommend it!
