Cy was terrific, he helped us navigate Venice and the surrounding area. The studio was very clean and comfortable and exactly as described. It was great having a fridge so we were able to get groceries The studio is definately just a few steps from the beach, a bunch of restaurants as well as a variety of stores. We chose not to rot a car which turned out to be a great decision. The ride from the airport is only 10-15 minutes so getting to and from the airport was a breeze. My wife and I were very comfortable staying here and would certainly recommend staying with Cy if your looking to stay in the Venice area.
