Home truths
The bedroom here is on a mezzanine level, so there are stairs to climb. This home may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
Venice is a car-free city, so there's no parking available here. We'd recommend using water taxis to get around, which can be reached just steps from the apartment.
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
The kitchen is on the smaller side here, so this home may not be for everyone. You are within walking distance of some of the city's best restaurants.
At full capacity, one guest will be sleeping on a double sofa bed in the living room.
