For this trip to Venice I was looking for something really venetian. I got that and so much more. Adriana's place is really more than a room, because in addition to the bedroom you get a small lounge, a bathroom and you get the fantastic rooftop terrace four stories above the ground.
The bed is excellent, and the air conditioner is the quietest I have ever run into (you'll need that in August).
The terrace is nice for everything from breakfast till goodnight drinks. It offers views of rooftops, the nearby church and the canal in front of the house.
Adriana had stocked the small fridge with water, juices, soft drinks and fresh milk for the coffee. In addition there was some bread, butter and jam, suitable for breakfast, so I didn't have to run out early in the morning.
Adriana has lived in this place for many years and has an extensive knowledge of Venice and its surroundings, wisdom she happily departs with if you need it.
Other points to notice: several good restaurants and bars in the area at various prices, quite area with many locals. Easy travel from the airport on the Alilaguna followed by a short walk, and only 15 minutes walking to most sights.
I hope Adriana has room for me next time I'm in Venice.
