Description Invisible Cities: Venice

If you’re looking for eclectic with a capital E, then you just found it. Zebra-print furnishings combine with ornate Venetian mirrors, Persian rugs and antique sculptures in a way that somehow comes together. It’s a great apartment for a romantic break in Venice, with plenty of space for two. The sunny terrace with views over the city is a nice touch, and you’re right on the gondola crossway between Rialto and San Marco, so there’s always something to watch down below. Take the two-minute stroll to the ludicrously beautiful St Mark’s Basilica for an iconic Venetian experience, or go on a half-hour walk to Piazzale Roma via landmarks such as the Rialto Bridge and the Frari. Make sure you’re back in time for a spritz on the terrace as the sun goes down.

Home truths:
*You’re on the fourth floor, but there’s an elevator for ease of access
*There’s a single sofa bed in the living area – let the host know in advance if you'd like this made up
*Air conditioning and heating temperatures are governed by local regulations, so there's a limited choice on when you can turn them on and what temperature you're allowed to set them to
* You'll find the washing machine in the basement of the building
