We never got to meet Michel unfortunately because we had a late check in but we were met by a friend of his who checked us in. This place is a proper bed and breakfast and we really enjoyed the croissants and juices and jams they left in our room for the morning. The pictures on the listing give you quite a precise picture of the place and it is really rather spacious. They give excellent directions which is so important as Venice can be a maze. However, it is well into the city so it can feel unsafe walking there at night if you are all women and the passageways/walkways can be quite dark and quiet. In the morning however, the B&B is beautiful, right on a canal and speed boats can be seen zipping by. It's also in what appeared to be a location populated by Venetians who are harder to find on the very touristy coastline.
Also, the AC provided is more of an air cooler but is effective if you place the white nozzle outside the door of your room. Please note this if you tend to feel very hot at night.
