This is a great property: Clean (spotless!), Well-designed, Spacious, with everything you need to enjoy Venice - including bikes w locks & headlight. It is also light enough and spacious enough to be able to enjoy an afternoon relaxing or working in the studio. I never met the property owners but it is clear that they take great pride in their property and being helpful hosts. I had a car for part of my stay (easy, free street parking on nearby streets) but you can easily get by without one by biking, using public transport, or uber/taxi. In winter months it gets dark early (5/6pm) so it is helpful to pack a small flashlight if you will be out in the evening. There are motion detector lights but it is comforting to have additional visibility when navigating quiet alleyway "courts" in the area. Great boutiques and Superba - one of my favorite restaurants / dessert / coffee stops- are within a block of this studio. Thank you Jesse & Alba!
