This is a classic Venice house, built probably almost 100 years ago, with a crazy large backyard. Not upgraded, a bit worn at the edges, not modern, a bit funky, either it's to your taste or not. I loved it. Big enough to spread out, reasonably quiet, had everything I needed. The neighborhood is awesome, fairly near to the center of everything, but be warned it also has its share of sights and sounds that will shatter your faith in humanity. Homelessness off the hook, and the stench of urine abounds (not in the house, but when you walk around the neighborhood). The host, Elena, is friendly, perfunctory, a bit harried. I'm pretty sure this house is their business. I gave it five stars because if it's for you, there really is nothing like it. You get to live in a normal house in an area that is extraordinary. The inside parking was a real plus too.
