This characterful two-storey apartment is found on Murano, one of Venice's smaller islands located a mile north of the Centro Storico. With its open spaces and exposed red brickwork reminiscent of a New York loft, there's lots to admire about this stylish setting, particularly the aquamarine kitchen and breakfast bar. A group of four may need to adjust to having two beds – including one sofa bed – in the same upstairs bedroom, but there's still plenty of room to relax and get comfortable. While Murano is well known for it's history of glassmaking, you'll also be five minutes from the nearest vaporetto stop, where water buses can take you across to Venice's star attractions.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the bedroom.
*If you're travelling as a group of three or four, there's not much privacy between the two beds which share the same space.
*As part of self check-in, you'll be able to collect your keys from the building staff who support this home.
