M's garden cottage was a lovely home base for exploring Venice. Her place is tucked into a nice quiet neighborhood. It's very close to Whole Foods, Rose Street cafes and restaurants, and about a 15 minute stroll to the boardwalk. The cottage is just as described -- cute with just enough space and amenities to make a short stay very comfortable. It was a huge bonus to have easy access to a lovely yard just outside the cottage door. M also provided us with a pack-n-play for our 10 month old baby.
