We had a great stay at Antonella's place. The rooms sit right on a canal, so you can hear the water sloshing around as boats cruise by. There were very few boats, and only in the morning; it was cool (not annoying), but you can't actually see the water because the windows are too high up the walls. The location is very central, and there are 3 locked doors between the outside world and the rooms, so it felt very safe. There is no A/C (which is in the listing description), and Venice can be hot, so just be weary of that. Antonella was very responsive and gave us several great recommendations for our visit. Would come back!
