If you want an affordable place to stay by the beach (Venice is expensive everywhere) this works - great location, use of bikes and host very communicative. Laundry onsite was nice. I will say though, this place is extremely small and the bed is right next to the ceiling-- cannot sit up, and photos did not exactly match the listing. (Photos show newer furniture and bedding) You are placed next to quite a few other apartments as well, so just keep that in mind re noise and privacy. Other than that, was an OK stay!
