This place is everything that Cal describes. The location is absolutely unbeatable if your looking for something near the beach, your only 7 steps from it (I didn't believe the description so I counted it too) and once you step outside you're welcomed by performers, vendors, restaurants and a few places to grab a drink.

To top it off, Cal was responsive and helpful. My flight was coming in late so we devised a plan to pick up the keys that worked like a charm. When I had a question about the apartment or the area, Cal's responses were prompt and valuable.

I'll be staying here next time I'm in Venice.
