We had a wonderful stay! Fabio was very friendly and welcoming! We really appreciated the advice and communication before we got there and after we arrived. We also had some great chats while we were there. He is a great person and musician!
The location is excellent. It was easy walking distance from the train station when we arrived and to the bus station for the airport as we were leaving. (We had backpacks and walking was easy, but if you have rolling luggage, there is a Vaporetto stop just a few steps from the door as well.) It was nice to be so close to everything and all of the points of interest, while not being in the most touristy area. We enjoyed walking to St. Marks Square (about 20-25 minutes) and the other "need to see" places, but loved coming back and not having the noise of the crowds.
The room is quite large by Venice standards. My husband and I had more than enough space for the two of us and we loved the extras like the refrigerator, safe, coffee, tea, candies, hair dryer, and the wine opener. Additionally, the air conditioner was incredibly nice to have! There is also a cute water station just outside where you can fill your water bottles!
The entire place is nice and appears to be cleaned on a daily basis, including the individual guest rooms. The self-serve breakfast room has pastries, bread, cereals, yogurt, coffee, teas, juice, etc. and was very much appreciated!
Overall, this is a very nice place to stay in Venice! It's a great value and has a fantastic host! We sincerely hope our future travels bring us back to Venice and we will definitely stay here again if they do!
