Our first time to Venice, family of 4, this was the RIGHT place. Water Taxi from Marco Polo airport right to your front door was an amazing way to kick-off our Italian Vacation. Great communication, easy check-in, the deck overlooking the Grand Canal is worth the premium price, a perfect place for coffee in the a.m., sharing a bottle of wine in the evening. Good location near St. Mark's Square. The host's pictures of the bathrooms actually don't do them justice, they are both upgraded, one has a full-size shower the other has the standard, "Euro Corner Shower". Lots of space in the front room. We would definitely stay here again.
