If location is at the top of your list when searching for places to stay in Venice, then look no further than this apartment, footsteps from the Grand Canal and just a seven-minute walk from the iconic St Mark’s Square. Although the interiors are basic (and the kitchen and bathroom could do with a refresh), the place has everything you need to feel right at home. Your host even provides a pre-arrival grocery delivery service, so you can drop your bags and get stuck into some sightseeing as soon as you arrive.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living space
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*There’s no window in the bathroom
*The décor of this home is very generic and the kitchen and bathroom are not quite up to Plum’s usual standards – we’ve let this one into our collection on the account of the fantastic location in Venice
