Our stay at Ivan’s we excellent. He was very communicative and went the extra mile to ensure we were taken care of during our check in process. He had something come up last minute so we met a lovely friend of his who took us to his place and showed us in. The check in process was seamless.
The place is very well located and only a 20 min walk (or less) to nearly everything - Piazza San Marco, Rialto Bridge, Palace Ducale, etc. There are soooo many places to eat, it can be daunting. If you are interested in less touristy spots, his area (Cannaregio) and San Polo are excellent spots.
His place is filled with character and is a great representation of a classic Venetian home. It is well stocked with the essentials and the bed was comfortable.
One helpful tip for those who are light sleepers: his place is located near a bridge so luggage and other noise can occur late at night/early morning.
We recommend Ivan and his place as an excellent place stay.
