The apartment was definitely good value. The only thing to remember if you go in the winter is just how damp Venice is in the winter time. Even with the heating on, it was hard to feel dry and cozy. I also confess that I did not notice that there wasn't any internet. That was a bit of a pain, but my fault for not noticing that it was not included in the rental. I also noticed someone else said the apartment was dirty, it definitely is not. I think it's older and there is a bit of a run down feel to it in some places, but it is most assuredly not dirty. The bed is very saggy and not particularly comfortable though. It's good for the price and VERY well located. Super easy to get everywhere.
