You’ll find this apartment just footsteps from Venice’s main railway station – ideal if you’re arriving or departing by train. The canalside streets surrounding this place are home to myriad restaurants, cafes and gelato parlours – not to mention that the main sights of Venice are easily reached on foot (or by water taxi). The furnishings are simple here, but the decor is a pink-hued delight. There’s room to dine in the kitchen area, and if you’re not using the double sofa bed in the living area, it feels like there’s plenty of space.

Home truths:
*At full capacity, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *This home is simply furnished, which won't be to everyone's taste. *There is no parking here, but you're in Venice where cars are not permitted. It's conveniently located for water taxis and walking – plus the train station isn't far if you're travelling by rail.
