This place is as advertised and is a great place to stay in Venice. The location, a block away from the beach, is perfect and the home is spacious, which was perfect for 2 single adults and 2 young children. Nice kitchen, nice bedrooms and bathrooms, plus the added benefit of patios. A few reviews mentioned the noise, as the home is on a main street. Unless you are listening for cars, you barely hear anything. We were there for 2 weeks and the only time I registered noise was when the garbage trucks came to collect trash. A great home with perfect location close to everything, plus the hosts (James is fantastic!) were extremely responsive. I would definitely stay here again!
