Carol's canal side home is a little slice of paradise. My family stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate my father's 70th birthday. We spent every morning on the porch - cup of coffee and book in hand. The weather was perfect for us so we didn't need more than the fans and to leave the porch door open. All five of us slept comfortably - The king size bed in the bedroom was comfortable (more comfortable than the Beverly Hills hotel that my parent's stayed at the night before arriving in Venice), the two twins had soft blankets and great mattresses, and I slept on the couch which was also more comfortable than you would think!
Two of our favorite parts - the canals (obviously!) and all of the natural light inside. There are at least 3 skylights that pour in sunshine all day long. If you are a light sleeper, the bedroom itself is dark, but the living dining room is not.
Lastly, do yourself a favor and take a boat ride through the canals in the morning. It is peaceful, cool, and a lovely addition to your stay at Carol's.
