The loft is picture-perfect and as advertised. Beautifully furnished - not just your standard Ikea-filled Airbnb. Excellent location - just a block from the beach. And Anthea was super responsive and a terrific host.
The only drawback was that the kitchenette was indeed a kitchenette and a little more limited than I realized. It's a little like being back in your college dorm with a mini fridge and microwave! But since there are so many excellent food options in Venice, it wasn't a big deal at all, and as long as you don't need a full, working kitchen, this is an ideal place to stay!
