Rafaella's home was an incredible base from which to experience Venice. It's only a five-to-ten minute walk from the Rialto Bridge and super close to a water taxi station. The neighborhood itself is really cute and tucked just out of the way of most of the main tourist areas, and therefore much less crowded. There's also a produce/fish/souvenir market just a few minutes away. The view from the rooms is incredible. Would definitely stay here again.
