This was the best neighborhood to stay in Venice -- tucked away from all of the tourist crowds, it had a very local vibe. And when you went into this hidden gem to stay...you were blown away by its modern style and amenities. The artwork on the walls made it very unique and special, and it was very clean. Another highlight, there is a gelato and pizza shop right across the "island" (street) open some nights until after midnight. Our family of five enjoyed everything it had to offer!
