This was a terrific place to stay! Very nice private apartment on the Grand Canal, with a private upper deck where you can see the canal. We were there during Christmas time and it was fun to walk the canals and enjoy all the lights. It is very close to Venice's beach and all the restaurants and place to visit in Venice as well as only a few miles from Santa Monica. The unit was very nice and clean and had all the amenities we needed. Parking is right at the unit and Steve has a spot for visitors. Steve was a terrific host and always available to answer questions. We would definitely stay here again.
