Jo-Ann & her home is superb.
The location in itself is already very strategic, 2 blocks from AK, Gjelina, Intelligentsia, and every quirky and fun stuff Venice has to offer (bountiful btw). The cottage was located at the back of her house, and whilst JoAnn is extremely nice and responsive, I still feel the enjoyment of having a privacy. The cottage is accurate (expectation vs.reality) - and I can't stress how much I enjoy the simplicity, the layout and the great use of space/lighting/architecture of the cottage. It was basically like a clean&chic spot (effortless instagram picture perfect) and came across to me as very homey, comforting, and soothing place for an escapade. I stayed (and extended) my trip for almost a month, and I'd have to say that I could not ask for more for my summer vacation. I am already envisioning and looking forward for my next stay here. Simply put, I highly recommend this place: cottage is a beaut, JoAnn & her family is always friendly and more than helpful, and the location could not possibly be better. Thanks again!
