I had a pleasant two-day stay at Residence Odoni, situated right on a charming canal and close to the train station and bus service to the airport. The Tiziano suite was well-furnished and featured air conditioning, which was a relief during the hot weather, though the upstairs unit needed some maintenance. While the accommodation was cozy and atmospheric, the layout had some quirks, making a longer stay a bit challenging. Overall, it was a good choice for a short visit to Venice.

I enjoyed my stay at the Residence Odoni, as the apartment was beautifully decorated and spacious, fitting perfectly with the charming Venetian vibe. However, the numerous stairs leading to the apartment were quite a workout, and the air conditioning left much to be desired during hot nights. Overall, it's a good choice for those who appreciate the local culture and ambiance, but some aspects need improvement. 😊
