My kids and I (21 and 14) just spent eight days here. Here's what you should know. First, I'd stay here again without hesitation. The pictures are exactly accurate. The place is very clean, the furnishings are nice, and everything looks new-ish. Nothing here feels cheap - you'd use this furniture and these fixtures in your own home.
Second, disregard the negative comment about parking. The garage isn't giant but it's *plenty* large for two vehicles, one per unit. In the course of the week I parked a minivan, a Toyota 4Runner (7 passenger SUV), and a Subaru Forrester there. At various times the other guests parked several other vehicles, including a large pickup and a large Porche (yes, Porche makes larger vehicles now!) In all cases both vehicles fit with enough room to open doors (and nobody dinged the Porche . . . .). It's not the Garage Mahal (not giant) but it's totally fine. Having good, secure parking this close to the beach is fantastic.
Third, although this is a ground floor apartment, we didn't have any issues with noise from upstairs. This surprised me, since a couple of times the upstairs seemed to have a lot of people there, including some larger people and kids. One reviewer commented on noise from upstairs - we were there eight days and nights and didn't experience that.
Fourth, I wouldn't plan on doing extensive cooking in kitchenette. It's a double sink, a small fridge and a hot plate with a few basic pots, pans and utensils. It's totally fine for breakfast or very simple meals (we loved the induction hot plate).
Fifth, there's no A/C. Which is fine for Venice 95% of the time. We were there during a heatwave. Elena brought a great fan as soon as we asked and each evening we put the fan in the window to blow cool air in and everything was OK. I would stay here again, even during a heatwave, because overall this is a great place.
