If this canalside apartment isn't in a stellar location, nothing is. It's right along the Zattere waterfront, just a one-minute stroll from the Gallerie dell'Accademia and its famous bridge. The setting is undoubtedly the highlight, but this studio-style apartment gets points for style, too. Sure, it's compact, but it has plenty of character. The bed is on the mezzanine tucked under the wooden-beamed ceiling, creating separation from the living area downstairs. We think it's perfect for couples or solo travellers looking for a comfortable and central base in Venice.

Home truths:
*There's a double sofa bed here, though please note that the guest count can't exceed two people. If you need to use the sofa bed for a second guest, please speak to your host.
*The bedroom is located on a mezzanine above the living area. The ceilings are 185cm high, so taller guests will have to mind their heads.
