Carol's place was absolutely perfect for our short getaway! It's mere blocks from the beach, restaurants and bars and the excitement of the boardwalk. The room itself was exactly what we needed: a cozy pit stop for recharging after hours of exploring Venice. The loft bed can't be used anymore, but the other bed pulled out to a king size for my friend and I to share (the only complaint was that my friend was *that* much closer to my night farts) There was a kitchen that included a microwave, coffee maker and filtered water in the fridge, an A/C unit and a little skylight. The private gated entrance gave us access to Carol's lush backyard where we got to play with Nadji, the cutest dog EVER. Carol was so lovely and helpful and communicative - she was just a text away at all times. And we had the pleasure of chatting with her and her husband whenever we ran into them around the property. Venice is magical and we couldn't have been happier with our stay! Thanks Carol!
