The listing was accurate, true to pictures! It had canal views, a well appointed kitchen, and a little garden off the bedroom where we spent nights sipping wine and talking softly in the candlelight.

The place was wonderfully quiet, a respite from busy Venice. Neighborhood was peaceful, if a little grubby. Not too close to cute restaurants or sights.

We were met by the host's mother, who was sweet and punctual, and pointed out useful information written on a sheet, as she didn't speak much English.

I recommend this place for anyone who loves privacy and the feel of home while traveling!
