We loved staying here, the location was perfect...just a short 2 min walk from the water bus stop and easy walking to much of Venice. The patio view is stunning and peaceful from room #4. I would caution that it is up several flights of stairs to that room. We didn't mind, but some people might have issue. The access to the patio required use of a small step stool and thru a narrow window/door, again we didn't mind. Great value for those who can manage it. The hosts were really nice people, let us leave our bags securely before check in, gave us some great pointers on where to stay. This was a cozy boutique style hotel with only a few rooms and exactly what we wanted!
