This is a tour of our apartment in Venice, Italy. We stayed in an Airbnb on Lido di Venezia. It was an easy vaporetto ride to the island which is on the outskirts of Venice, Italy.

The chandeliers were so amazing - made of wood with floral patterns in gilded metal. There are many other rooms (which I would very much consider ballrooms because they ...
