This apartment is wonderful - great size and perfect location within 2 blocks of the beach and 1 from the canals in Venice. Linda is a warm and caring host - she left a hospitality basket with the essentials (wine, snacks, coffee), provides beach towels chairs, and paddles for games. The bed was very comfortable, enough drawers and closet space (even plush robes that I didn’t have time to use). The bathroom is well appointed and has a spectacular rainfall shower head, ample towels, and she provided toiletries! The second BR/office was a great place to get some work done and has a Murphy bed that I didn’t need this short trip. There are three large screen TVs in the apartment and comfortable living room seating. The kitchen is well-equipped with appliances large and small, kitchenware and a fridge with water in the door. We didn’t need to use the air conditioning system - the ceiling fans and open doors to the back patio kept the apartment cool enough. The large back patio has a gas grill and comfy furniture around a large dining table. It was an easy and very convenient, comfortable stay. I look forward to returning for a longer vacation. Linda certainly made us feel welcome and was available to help in any way, it seemed, checking by text to make sure we were okay. Thank you very much!
