This was a great place to stay. Plenty of room, clean, great views of a canal right outside of our window. Literally steps from the Arsenal. This area is close to everything but also off of the "tourist" path which was so nice and relieving. Many of the locals live in this area which was also a great experience. Our best day was going over the bridge to the park and museum side (more local area) to find a nice main street with bakeries and a local market. I think we were the only tourists there! Really nice. Nicola was a fantastic host and super helpful. We would recommend this place for anyone looking to visit the Venice area.
