If you're looking for a quiet little base to set up a romantic trip in Venice, you can stop looking. This home is more functional than stylish, but it has everything you need for extended stays, including a well-equipped kitchen. And while the courtyard's furniture could do with an upgrade, the space is still perfect for spending some time away from the throng of tourists. Despite being tucked away in a quiet part of town, you're within walking distance of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Zattere promenade here.

Home truths:
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts. *At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. *While the courtyard is a nice spot to relax in, the furniture is a little tired. It is shared with other nearby residents. *This is a ground-floor apartment. *If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
