I was EXTEREMELY disappointed with this home! So disappointed, in fact, that after spending 10 minutes there, I had to rebook at a new home and lose my $2000.00 for what was supposed to have been a week stay. It was small and depressing inside and was nowhere near as new or fresh or bright or comfortable as the photos depict. There was also an unbearable musty, mildewy smell that I could not imagine even spending one night dealing with. The exterior of the building may be on the canal with the posted view, but this unit is in the back and the only view is of the alley/pathway to the canal. This path has such heavy foot traffic that there was zero privacy and it felt at times people were walking right through the place. The owner suggested closing the blinds all night which even made it feel more depressing inside. Also, my rental car (the small side of a medium sedan) only fit in the garage if I got out and folded in the mirrors and then I could barely open the doors when parked inside. The bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom did not feel sanitary. It gives me no pleasure writing this review as I stay in Venice often and have really loved all of the other homes that I stayed in and given only rave reviews. Maybe for half the price and no expectations this place could be ok, but I would not ever recommend staying here.
