Bobs place is great and there are no surprises from what you see in the pictures and read in other reviews. They converted the garage into an adorable spacious studio that is decorated well and has all amenities you would need for a stay. For us it was the perfect location, near everything we wanted and short ride to beach. It was quiet which is what we wanted. Bob was so kind and extremely fast with responding to our questions. He even came outside to meet us one morning as we were heading out. Great stay, highly recommend and would definitely come back next time we are in Venice. Thanks Bob!
