I'm not saying Venus would be easier to colonise than Mars, but just the fact that it has a dense atmosphere while Mars barely has any should tell you it's much more Earth-like. Size and gravity is also significantly closer to Earth than for Mars which is relatively tiny.

Fair enough! That's a good point.
