We loved our stay at Carlos’s apartment. The location was PERFECT, and waking up to canal views made our stay in Venice extra special. We didn’t have issues with mosquitos as others mentioned, but there were ample deterrents, including bug spray, coils, and plugins for the wall. I can see the AC may be an issue during the heat of the summer (for Americans used to AC everywhere) but the weather was just right when we were there so it wasn’t an issue. Overall would recommend staying at Carlos’s home!
