We enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect as it's so close to the beach and the Venice canals. There is noisy traffic outside, though there is nothing one can do about that. It's perfect for a couple, since the futon in the living room is rather small. The exterior of the property has room for improvement, but this budget-friendly apartment is great if you want to be in the heart of Venice. We had a great stay and felt comfortable in Margo's place.
