Future travelers, I'm jealous you'll be staying in Emmett's wonderful home! It is truly the perfect Venice hideout. Close enough to walk to the fun the stuff, but quiet and safe enough for families. The house is great too, I stayed with my two children and we were always comfortable. There's plenty of televisions (so very little fighting), good nice spaces and plenty of nooks to get away to if you need some space. The outdoor areas are lovely to enjoy tea or the outdoor fire. Truly a gem of a place!
