Beam ceilings, state of the art facilities, spotless, Most secure any we've stayed in, functional,

Absolutely wonderful place. Better than advertised. 125 near level steps from the St. Mark's Square - straight shot to the little arched way with iron gate for entry. Can't get lost which says lots for Venice. Quietest place ever in midst of busy Venice. Beamed ceilings, spotless, state of the art, very secure, neat kitchen with a real oven, big bedroom upstairs, full bathroom with tub/jacuzzi and shower, like having you own private home with a canal on the west side of you and a canal on the north side of you. Nicola shared restaurants with us; best was Gam Gam restaurant at the entry to the Getto with best food and very best prices in Venice, easy rides on the Vaporetto if more than couple days, bought a weeklong pass. Before choosing a restaurant unless you have unlimited budget, ask if they charge 10% "tax" and a "service charge" and a fee for bread and a fee for water. MANY do not and they are the best for food quality and service often. Will return many times, Nicola. You were a best host!
